Prince Andrew Joined the King at Windsor Castle
Prince Andrew, who was stripped of his royal duties following a scandal, has made a surprising appearance alongside the King at a recent event at Windsor Castle. The Duke of York had been excluded from official royal duties after paying millions to a sex abuse accuser.
Invitation to Welcome New Religious Chief
Despite his tarnished reputation, Prince Andrew was invited to join the King and Queen at Windsor Castle to welcome the new Dean of Windsor, Right Reverend Dr Christopher Cocksworth. The Duke of York attended a reception at the castle before the inauguration ceremony at St George's Chapel.
Private Attendance, Not a Royal Role
Prince Andrew's attendance at the event was not publicly recorded in the official Court Circular, which documents all royal engagements. Sources indicate that although he is no longer a working royal, Andrew still attends certain events as a member of the Royal Family.
Controversial Figure
Prince Andrew's appearance comes after he was banished from public aspects of the Royal Garter at St George's Chapel in June. A recent poll revealed that Andrew is the least favorite royal among Brits.
