Following Prince Andrew’s reported friendship with the late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, Kate Middleton has allegedly urged her uncle-in-law to ‘stay away’ from her family, according to an outrageous US report out today.
Sources sensationally claim to the National Enquirer that after news surfaced of the prince’s ill-judged association with the dead sex criminal, Kate is alleged to have told Andrew: ‘Stay away! You’re revolting!’

Prince Andrew maintains that he was not aware of Epstein’s sexual behaviour, insisting in a palace statement that he ‘has been appalled by the recent reports of Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged crimes.
‘His Royal Highness deplores the exploitation of any human being and the suggestion he would condone, participate in or encourage any such behaviour is abhorrent.’
There is nothing to suggest Kate or anyone in the royal family believe he has done anything wrong beyond associating with the disgraced businessman, who suicided in a New York jail.
But according to the Enquirer, even if he was not involved, British child abuse lawyer Peter Garsden doesn’t ‘believe Andy’s claim he didn’t know about Epstein’s sick activities.’
Investigators recently launched a probe into whether Epstein raped or molested underage girls and the FBI may want to speak to the prince about what he knows about the sex ring.
‘I do not think for a minute that anybody will believe the prince is totally ignorant of what was going on,’ said Garsden.
While Andrew may not have done anything wrong besides mixing in the wrong circles, one palace courtier is quoted by the publication as saying, ‘It’s no wonder Kate has banned Uncle Andy from seeing her kids.’
The palace has not responded to the National Enquirer’s allegations about Kate Middleton’s alleged attitude towards the Prince.
