Speaking on Yahoo UK’s The Royal Special, Duncan Larcombe, former royal editor at The Sun, said the fallout from the allegations surrounding Andrew, as well as the backlash following his ‘car crash’ Newsnight interview, had shown Harry that “your popularity as a royal isn’t a given” and that you “need to choose your friends very carefully”.

Andrew has been removed from public duties following allegations that he slept with a teenage girl who had been trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein - which he categorically denies.
