ANDREW Mountbatten-Windsor has clarified the context of the supposedly compromising photo of him that was released over the weekend.
The former Prince can understand how a picture of him kneeling on all fours over a young woman could give the wrong impression, but he was actually in the process of earning his CPR certificate from St John’s Ambulance.
He said: “I forgive you for being confused, it’s an easy mistake to make. Though there’s no room for error when it comes to cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
“If I didn’t make sure I was on top form as an amateur responder, the lives of dozens of well-documented young women would be at risk. Even with a private jet, the nearest hospital was hours away.
“Notice how I’ve cleared the surrounding area of hazards? Make sure you do the same if you have to deliver CPR. Her airways are nice unobstructed too, I checked.
“I only wish the interaction were filmed, so you could see me giving the volunteer assistant chest compressions 100 times a minute to the rhythm of Stayin’ Alive by The Bee Gees, a favourite of mine from Tramps nightclub.”
He added: “Yes, Peter Mandelson was there. No, I did not perform CPR on him, because he is a man.”
