Lady Victoria Hervey believes her ex-boyfriend Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been subject to “sick and deranged hounding” following his arrest last week.
On Thursday (19 February), the former prince was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office after being accused of sharing sensitive information with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein while serving as the UK's trade envoy.
He was later released under investigation.
Speaking on Piers Morgan Uncensored on Monday (23 February), the aristocrat who dated Andrew briefly in 1999, said the photographer who captured him leaving the police station was “shameful”.
“For people to be gleefully enjoying this purge, I think it’s sick, demented and deranged. At what point is this going to stop,” Hervey said.
