PRINCE William warned the Queen he would feel uncomfortable if Andrew attended Order of the Garter service, according to sources.

The Prince of Wales also made an intervention amid fears the public would “backlash” if the Duke of York was seen.

The royal pair shared their concerns with each other before taking them to the Monarch on Sunday.

As a result, Her Majesty told her second son that he could not appear in public at the event “for his own good.”

“He does not want to do anything that would embarrass the Queen or make things difficult,” one source said.

Instead, the disgraced Duke joined the Queen and rest of his family only for the investiture in the castle’s Garter throne room.

He also took part in the traditional lunch afterwards in the Waterloo Chamber – with both events happening behind closed doors.

The move prevented him from being photographed alongside other royals in the Order’s velvet robes and plumed hats.
