Palace insiders say Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor still views himself as a victim in the Epstein fallout

Palace sources say Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor remains convinced he has been treated unfairly, even after being stripped of his royal titles and told to leave the Royal Lodge. According to insiders, the situation has caused real tension behind the scenes, with family members worried about how he is coping.

A palace aide told OK! Magazine that despite the upheaval, Andrew believes he has been wronged and that this mindset is driving him through the turmoil. Insiders say his strong sense of pride is playing a major role. Staff have even been asked to continue addressing him as “Prince,” a detail that has raised eyebrows within the household.

According to one source, Andrew’s confidence in his own importance has not faded, even as his public standing has collapsed. “He is still convinced he’s the one who has been mistreated,” the aide said. “That belief, along with an ego that hasn’t shifted, is what keeps him going right now.”

They added that as long as he continues to project that level of self-assurance, those close to him feel there is less reason to be alarmed about his state of mind.
