“The Duke of York followed advice from His Majesty’s government and ceased all contact with the individual after concerns were raised,” the statement read, per Independent.
At the same time, when they did have a relationship with each other, their relationship seemed rather close. According to AP, Prince Andrew invited the alleged spy to his birthday party.
