The royal, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, had a low public profile. The Sun newspaper reported neither Prince William nor his brother Prince Harry were involved. The Times newspaper reported that it was an alleged homosexual act.
However, it has been revealed that David Albert Charles Armstrong-Jones, Viscount Linley was named as being the royal at the center of a blackmail scandal. Viscount Linley (born 3 November 1961), known professionally as David Linley, is a member of the British Royal Family, the son of Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon and 12th in the line of succession to the British throne. He is the chairman of Christie's UK, the international auction house.
Lord Linley married The Hon. Serena Stanhope on 8 October 1993. They have two children, The Hon. Charles Armstrong-Jones, born in 1999, and The Hon. Margarita Armstrong-Jones, born in 2002.
Ironically, he was the only one in the first 12 places in the line of succession to marry anyone who held a rank or title after Prince Charles who married Lady Diana Spencer. His wife, before marriage, was styled "The Honourable" and if her father had become an earl she would have risen to the rank of "Lady." His own children now hold the title that his wife was born with.
Lord Linley is a manufacturer of furniture, upholstery and interior design products known for their neoclassical appearance, dramatic use of inlaid woods, and attractiveness to high-profile clients such as Oprah Winfrey, for whom he designed a desk. He founded his own company, called LINLEY, in 1985.

It could be any of them.
There have always been scandals of some sort within the royal family throughout history. Why should this lot be any different? Every family has a relative no-one speaks about because they have done something everybody is embarrassed by.
If I had to make a guess I think I would say probably Prince Edward.

I asked the same question at about the same time as yourself. It is most definitely a 'minor royal' whoever that may be there are lots of them. I got an answer giving me a clue that his nickname is Dockyard Doris - not much help really.

It was mentioned that it was someone fairly low down in the pecking order...
There seems to be loads of Royals - they seem to be good at breeding!
