However, Boris Johnson, Mayor of London, did give the Duke his support yesterday, saying he had his "sympathy".
"Prince Andrew, let's be very clear, is a guy who does a huge amount of unsung, unheralded work for this country...So if you are asking me whether I have sympathy for him, of course I do."
