One document entitled Brief for Duke of York interview with the Times from March 2002 suggested answers appear to have been created for possible press questions regarding his lack of business experience.

An answer included saying he had no hesitation in taking up the role. But, given my lack of direct business experience, was keen to ensure a full period of induction if asked how he was approached for the role.

It also suggested saying it has been a steep learning curve for me. But I relish the challenge. Hope to make a difference.
