When journalists pressed further about whether Jenrick had broken party ranks, Badenoch reiterated her stance.

She emphasised her leadership position whilst repeating her refusal to address royal affairs.

Earlier this week, Jenrick had launched a scathing attack on Andrew during a BBC Radio 4 interview.

The shadow justice secretary declared that Andrew had “disgraced himself” and “embarrassed the Royal Family time and again”, adding that “the public are sick of him”.
