Royal | News - Prince Ricardo De La Cerda
Prince Andrew is “less of a problem” to the Royal Family than “loose cannon” Prince Harry because he “hasn’t spilled secrets”, an expert has claimed.
The Duke of York’s friendship with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein has come in for heavy criticism over the past few years, leading him to step back from royal duties in 2019.
Andrew has remained largely silent on the subject bar a disasterous interview on BBC Newsnight with journalist Emily Maitlis that same year.
Harry, along with his wife Meghan Markle, stepped down as a senior working royal when moving to the US in 2020, but he has made a string of claims against the Royal Family in TV interviews, a Netflix documentary series, and his memoir, Spare.
Now, Royal Family historian Andrew Lownie, who is publishing a biography of Prince Andrew next year, believes the Duke of York is a “loyalist” and is “less of a problem than Harry”.
