Ingrid continued: “Harry should really man up and forget the fallout with his brother. They should be standing shoulder to shoulder on this one.”

A spokesperson for the Prince said he “tentatively welcomed the investigation”.

In addition, the statement read: “It should help establish the truth behind the actions that led to the Panorama interview…

“…And subsequent decisions taken by those in the BBC at the time.”
