Meghan Markle is reportedly taken aback that Prince Andrew “has not been completely ostracised” by the Royal Family, given her and Prince Harry’s treatment, a royal expert has claimed.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have had strained relations with The Firm since their decision to step down as senior royals four years ago.

Although Andrew ceased official Royal duties following fury over his past connections to Jeffrey Epstein, he remains within the royal fold.

Author Tom Quinn suggests Meghan believes Andrew should be “pushed out” over his public image. Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Tom said: “The fact that Prince Andrew has not been completely ostracised is another deep source of grievance for Meghan she’s been pushed out so why not Andrew?

“Meghan has a point but what she doesn’t see is that for all his faults Andrew has at least done what the Royal Family told him to do: Andrew was told to say nothing after his disgrace and he continues to say nothing.”

Prince Andrew has repeatedly and vehemently denied any wrongdoing.

Meghan and Harry’s rift with the Royal Family was sparked when the pair made a series of explosive claims against The Firm.

Meghan has levelled accusations at Kate, Princess of Wales, claiming she was made to cry before her wedding, and contended she was “silenced” by the monarchy.

Harry has not held back either, targeting both his brother Prince William and father King Charles. In his tell-all memoir ‘Spare’, Harry recounts a fierce altercation with William, alleging that his brother insulted Meghan as “difficult”, “rude” and “abrasive”, leading to a physical confrontation where William supposedly “grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor”.
