Andrew Lownie, currently researching Prince Andrew's biography, remarked that transparency regarding the Duke of York's files is critically fundamental, citing government responses as varied and unconvincing.
The UK Information Commissioner’s Office stated that the Freedom of Information Act does not prohibit the release of files related to the royal family, contradicting the Foreign Office's claims.
Lownie expressed that his attempts to gather information from government sources about Prince Andrew has felt like a game of whack-a-mole, suggesting systemic evasiveness.
Dr. Alison McClean revealed concerns about the recent trend of re-closing previously available royal documents, which she highlights threatens academic access and transparency.
