Prince Harry and Prince Andrew “share” a brutal nickname within the Royal Family, it has been claimed. Harry, the younger brother of Prince William, is said to share a nickname with the disgraced Duke of York, who is Charles’ younger brother and one of the late Queen’s four children.
The Duke of Sussex and the Duke of York are no longer working royals after stepping down from the roles roughly five years ago. A report in The Times claims that Harry and Andrew are known as “the Dukes of Hazard” by Royal Family courtiers.
The source said: “His Majesty does not want to exacerbate family tensions further.” They added regarding the King: “By nature, he is a unifier, not a divider.” One friend told the Daily Beast: “None of us would blame him if he decided to do a Harry and leave.

“He can’t do anything here anymore, he can’t leave the house, he can’t do any business.” Another friend said ahead of Christmas, as Andrew continues to come under the spotlight for his supposed links to an alleged Chinese spy Yang Tengbo: “Andrew has a vast array of contacts in the Middle East and could be leading a meaningful life there.
“I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he thought enough was enough after this latest stitch-up by the establishment.” Yang, who split his time between the UK and China for almost two decades, ran the Duke of York’s Pitch@Palace in China – a Dragons’ Den-style project. He was also given authority to act on the prince’s behalf in Chinese business dealings, according to court documents.
He was also pictured with two former Conservative prime ministers, Theresa May and David Cameron. Yang is also known to have met a number of other politicians, including the former deputy prime minister John Prescott. In a statement, Yang insisted he was not a spy and had done “nothing wrong or unlawful” and had asked the high court to lift the anonymity order so he could challenge “ill-founded” claims against him.
