Speaking on The Royals Uncensored podcast, Griffiths said: “Well, I think when the palace says nothing to see here, not a big deal, and I think they use the actual words, it’s not a big deal, then I go digging immediately. And so that’s what I did.
“And the first thing I found in cuts was four years ago, he had a bruise on that eye, and the king was filmed pointing at it at a royal event, saying, ‘What on earth is that?’ And there was, of course, a lip reader.
“And the King said something along the lines of, ‘how on earth did you get that on your face?’ And I just think it’s extraordinary that a man has had two black eyes in the space of four years. Is that a black eye? It’s a black cheek. Do you not think that’s a theory? I have a theory.
“My theory is that there was some sort of scuffle.Maybe with his security. I heard a rumour about that, because he’s a really difficult man to deal with. And I can just imagine every once in a while somebody must get very frustrated and just give him a slap.”
A stunned Jo Elvin replied: “That’s quite a bold claim. Just have that little movie playing in your head.” She then added: “I wonder if it’s the skin finally reacting to all that non-sweating from all these years. Yeah, maybe it’s a build-up of a request sweat.”
Charlotte replied: “Do you know, I think we’ll find out eventually. I think we will find out eventually. Not least because I’m digging every moment I can get.”
Andrew’s injury comes after he was approached by a mystery man while walking the late Queen Elizabeth’s corgis near the Sandringham Estate in May.
The Sun reported that a man wearing a balaclava shouted at Andrew at a public park in Wolferton, leaving Andrew forced to flee in his car as the incident led Andrew to demand the reinstatement of his security protection.
Alex Jenkinson, 39, pleaded not guilty at Westminster Magistrates’ Court to using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour.
