‘I fear that Prince William is also going the same way.

‘William seems to like weak people in his court and that cannot continue. We are dealing with a Royal crisis of people; they are ill, they are old, and there are very few of them.

‘They should have got a professional Press Association photographer in and that would have been the end of it.’
