The Queen is NOT going to be happy.

Prince Andrew has put his foot in it by committing a big royal family no-no – never express your personal views on politics.

Watch below to see Prince Andrew break a major royal rule:

The Duke of York broke the royal rule during an interview with UK TV channel ITV, where he spoke about Brexit, stating it would ‘make no difference’ to entrepreneurs if Britain left the European Union.

“Businesses could be successful either inside a large internal market, or operating in an even larger external market,” he said during the interview held in London.

“There are swings and roundabouts to all these sorts of things.”

So, why do the British Royal Family refrain from discussing politics?

Due to their unelected position of power, Queen Elizabeth and fellow members of the royal family tend to keep quiet on matters of politics because they don’t vote in general elections or referendums such as Brexit.

However, this isn’t the first time members of The Firm have bent the rules.

Prince Charles has made several reference to his political leanings in the past, his most infamous gaffe being the ‘black spider memos’ in which the Prince of Wales wrote a series of letters to government ministers and politicians.

Since joining the royal family, Meghan Markle has also kept quiet on things political, despite criticising American President Donald Trump in the past.
