Royal editor Charlotte Griffiths predicted the reality star will be "drafted in on wifely duties" following the scandal.

"Even though they're not married, she is very much on hand nonstop to just keep him going," she told GB News.

"There are some basic things that you can do if you're a posh royal living in the country, and actually he's been socially outcast from even some of those," she stated. "So he certainly can't do any charity work or any royal work of any kind. Especially now in the light of this second batch of documents."
