Trending Now: William’s Lethal 6-Word Warning to Fergie Revealed After Reports He Wants Her Daughters’ ‘Heads on a Chopping Block’ – Fans React

Ever since Andrew’s arrest, there have been reports that the British royal family is doing their best to distance itself from him. Last year, as the scrutiny over the Epstein files started gaining ground, Andrew was stripped of his titles, and he and his ex wife, Sarah Ferguson, were evicted from Royal Lodge. And now, there are reports that Prince William wants to go even further.

With speculation that Fergie could perhaps be willing to sell her version of events comes RadarOnline’s new report that William has made it clear that will be unacceptable.

“William’s view is extremely simple – he has said: ‘Sarah needs to face the music.’ That’s the message that has been conveyed in no uncertain terms,” sources told the outlet. “William’s position is that if there are serious questions being raised, the only place they should be addressed is through the appropriate legal process. He certainly does not think this is something that should be turned into a media spectacle or used as an opportunity for anyone to tell their version of events in a television interview or a memoir.”

The source added, “In his view, the focus should be on transparency and accountability, not on controlling the narrative. That’s why he has been so clear behind the scenes that Sarah Ferguson needs to face the music.

“From William’s perspective, the right course of action is for her to cooperate fully with whatever inquiries arise and allow the facts to come out through the proper channels, rather than trying to reshape public opinion through books, documentaries, or paid interviews.”

Reportedly, there’s a sense that Ferguson, in particular, has benefited from her association with the royal family for too long. “Within the family, there is a strong sense that Sarah Ferguson has already spent many years benefiting from the visibility and opportunities that come with being connected to the royal household,” a source explained. “Even after stepping back from formal royal life, that association has continued to open doors for her professionally and publicly.”

“Now that the Andrew Windsor scandal has erupted so publicly, William’s view is that those royal links can’t be used as a protective buffer. In his mind, the time has come for Sarah Ferguson to deal with whatever consequences may follow, rather than relying on the prestige of the royal name to soften the impact of the controversy.”

These reports come after RadarOnline had previously suggested that consequences could even extend to Andrew and Fergie’s daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. And with Andrew already under investigation and suggestions that Fergie could come next swirling, that puts the princesses in a complicated position.

“There is a real concern that Prince William wants their heads on the chopping block as part of a harder line on which royals should remain publicly associated with the institution,” a source told the outlet. “Beatrice and Eugenie feel like they are living in horrific limbo. They have spent years carefully building respectable private lives, yet the fallout from their parents’ controversies keeps circling back to them,”
