And Fergie, Duchess of York, fumed: “Stop bullying the York family.”

Andrew’s highly unusual statement, on Buckingham Palace stationery, came weeks after Prince Harry similarly complained at media attention on his girlfriend Meghan Markle.

Andrew said: “It is a complete fabrication to suggest I have asked for any future husbands of the Princesses to have titles.

She said: “Both the Duke and myself, we could not be more proud. These are two girls that work so hard in their own careers, have taken time off today to spread the word of teen cancer and then go back to work.

“Let’s focus more on this and less on tittle-tattle gossip. Stop bullying the York family, please.”
