Prince Andrew has long been considered persona non grata within British royalty. In question, the interview he had given in 2019 to the BBC about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, who committed suicide the same year. Three years later, he had been dismissed from his military functions after charges of sexual assault on a 17 -year -old girl, Virginia Giuffre, a case that ended in a financial agreement.
More recently, it was his supposed ties with a Chinese spy, named Tengbo Yang, who agitated the Anglo-Saxon press. The latter would have advised the prince for letters he wrote to President Xi Jinping on the occasion of his birthday. Accusations denied by the main interested party, but which left Andrew at the heart of the scandal. He therefore missed the traditional Christmas holidays at the Sandringham residence last December.
