Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said: “The man should be named immediately - otherwise the whole thing smacks of an establishment cover-up.
“If it’s not resolved in the courts, he should be named in the Commons.”
Ex-Tory leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith said: “Parliament has a right to know because the Royals are at the top of government.”
