How Prince Andrew used problematic pals to declare ‘importance’

Prince Andrew’s friendships have pushed him into trouble yet again.

The Duke of York, who has been associated with a Chinese spy, supposedly ends up with questionable friends due to low self esteem.

Royal biographer Christopher Wilson says: “It is my opinion that Prince Andrew is a man with low self-esteem. All these people are like iron filings drawn to a magnet because they are getting close to the Royal Family. 

“And Andrew wanted to show his importance by introducing people to the Queen. It wasn’t as if he was sufficient, he had to show that he could get these people to the Queen. Well the moment the Queen died that was over as King Charles would have nothing to do with it or his contacts.

“People turned a blind eye because he was the Queen’s favourite son,” he adds.

“It is incredible how people will still bow, even when things are going wrong or people are behaving badly.”
