GB News host Eamonn Holmes has launched a scathing attack on “brazen” Prince Andrew, following the announcement that the Duke of York and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson will not be joining the Royal Family at Sandringham this Christmas.
Andrew became the subject of the latest royal scandal after he was connected to an alleged Chinese spy, named publicly yesterday as Yang Tengbo.
The duke has been present over the festive period at Sandringham for the last two years, but it is understood he will remain absent from this year’s festivities.
Tengbo, who forged links with the Duke of York and other British Establishment figures, insisted he has “done nothing wrong or unlawful”.

Discussing the allegations on GB News, Breakfast host Eamonn Holmes hit out at the royal and said he “doesn’t like him”.
As cohost Isabel Webster urged him to reveal his stories about meeting the Duke, Eamonn admitted: “I don’t like him. I’ve got too many stories about him.
“He’s gruff and he’s just brazen.”
Asking Breakfast panellist Theo Usherwood if he had ever met Prince Andrew, the journalist told GB News: “No, I’ve never met him. I think I’ve attended a couple of events with him.

“But he’s quite… He’s the grand old Duke of York.”
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Expressing further distaste for the King’s brother, Eamonn raged: “Without a doubt. I would very quickly, I think, sort of tell him going throw a hook somewhere.
“I wouldn’t be interested in him. I wouldn’t pay him any respect.”
Highlighting the stress of Andrew’s latest scandal on the Royal Family and King Charles ahead of Christmas, Isabel admitted that she feels “terribly sorry” for the monarch.
She added: “I feel terribly sorry for the King, who has had a difficult start to his reign. He’s obviously had his cancer diagnosis, but his brother is just constantly undermining him.

“I do wonder if William and Charles send each other messages saying, ‘oh, brothers – you can’t live with them!’.”
Eamonn agreed, concluding: “It’s not what happens to you, it’s how you deal with it. I think he’s dealt with everything very, very well. It has to be said.”
Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson are likely to remain at Royal Lodge for Christmas, according to royal sources.
It is understood that their daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are to spend Christmas with their respective in-laws.
