Eden further speculated that the Princess of Wales either made or agreed to publish a personally signed statement.
“I think it’s a shame,” he continued. “It is very rude of Prince William to take responsibility for him. For goodness sake, he took the picture.”
“And the officials announced it to the public. They gave it; that’s their job. I think it’s a real shame that they’ve said to him, ‘You go and explain what you did.’ No, that’s your job. Take some responsibility,” he added.
