Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has experienced a multitude of changes in recent months. After being demoted by his brother, King Charles, Andrew lost his right to use any official royal titles, and he also vacated his home, Royal Lodge in Windsor. On his 66th birthday, the ex-Duke of York was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office due to information contained in the Jeffrey Epstein files—he was released after questioning. Now, a former politician is weighing in on some of Andrew's misfortunes.
Writing for the Daily Mail, the U.K.'s former prime minister, Boris Johnson, explained, "[T]he last conversation I had with Andrew—took place when I was PM, and I was for some reason deputed to tell him that he could not attend some big public ceremony, for fear of embarrassing his mother [Queen Elizabeth II] and the whole institution of the monarchy."
