I know it feels that way, but IMO Andrew never had power in the Royal Family. He was a B-lister, always, never truly transcended Randy Andy and Fergie cemented his reputation as essentially frivolous/money grubbing.
I don't believe he was ever given important ceremonial/dignified positions like his siblings were. Just thrown some scraps where he could use his apparent obsession with money and business connections, which none of the other Royals share

Oh, I think Andrew had lots of power in that family.
Not only was he his mothers favourite child, he was second in line to the British throne for 22 yrs until William was born.
He was considered to be a war hero in the Falklands War and had many honours bestowed upon him until recent events.
IMO, they are all obsessed with money, even King Charles.
Remember him with his grocery bags of cash? What was that about??
No heir to the throne should be waltzing around with bags of cash! How extraordinary!
