Recent developments come as no surprise
There is no doubt the palace will be heartened to read the general consensus is that this time, over Andrew, they have done the right thing.
As the King has been spotted retreating to Sandringham, it cannot be understated how tumultuous the past couple of weeks have been for the family.
As the story around Andrew, his titles and where he lived, continued to make the front pages for almost two weeks, the conversations would not have been 'do we need to do more, but how and when'.
The palace also want us to know that they realised Andrew just giving up the use of his titles was not going to be satisfactory, but a longer-term resolution was going to take time.
On Thursday night, we saw the results of those efforts to resolve this once and for all.
The fact they decided to announce this further development this week should come as no surprise.
Prince William heads to Brazil on Monday for one of the biggest weeks of his year, for the Earthshot Awards and the COP UN climate conference.
Over the next couple of weeks, family members will be heavily involved in Remembrance Events. The issue over Andrew had to stop.
While his brother's serious lapse of judgement has led to the King taking the ultimate action, there is a genuine concern within the family about the impact on his two daughters, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice.
They will continue to be at the forefront of the family's minds. The Metropolitan Police is looking into reports that Andrew asked an officer to help with an attempted smear campaign against Giuffre. There have also been calls by Congress in the US for Andrew to tell them more about Epstein.
It is interesting that those asked in polling do think the King dealt with the Andrew-Epstein revelations too slowly.
And once again, there is not much the family can do to stop those issues around Epstein continuing to be the distraction they have wanted to shut down.
