I think the 'impressions' (as opposed to actual facts) people get from what they read generally tend to reinforce whatever 'impressions' they previously held! I suspect that Andrew has been given pelters by the senior members of the family - and I don't think there's anything temporary about standing him down from Royal duties either!I read it more as temporarily keeping him out of the public eye until it goes away.
From what I’ve read , the impression I get is that he essentially has the palace’s support.
