Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has called out his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, for abandoning him during the Jeffrey Epstein controversy, as he looks to shift blame.
As reported by RadarOnline.com, the former Prince has branded his former wife a "traitor" and sources have shared that the tension has triggered a bitter family feud.
The 66-year-old has cut ties with Fergie following their departure from Royal Lodge earlier this year.
Their once amiable relationship has gone down a hill amid scrutiny of their link to a convicted financier, with Andrew now refusing to welcome his former wife to his new residence at Marsh Farm on the Sandringham Estate.
An insider claimed, "Andrew appears to have rewritten the entire history of his relationship with Sarah to convince himself that she abandoned him at the precise moment he needed her most, and is branding her a traitor."
"In his mind, she was supposed to remain fiercely loyal to him always, regardless of how damaging the scandals became or how much humiliation he was forced to endure. Instead, he seems to believe she made a calculated decision to distance herself when his reputation was falling apart. He's taking it incredibly personally and apparently telling those around him that her behaviour amounts to the ultimate betrayal."
"The word 'traitor' is being used, which gives you some idea of just how bitter and resentful he has become," the source added.
"He seems unable to accept that Sarah might have reached a point where protecting herself was more important than continuing to stand by him."
The escalating tension has put a full-stop in their relationship, which was once hailed for its closeness despite their divorce in 1996.
