The embarrassed royal, 62, has long been rumored to be joining other members of the royal family in the Order of the Garter’s parade on Monday. But he was barred from attending at the last minute, as his 72-year-old brother was among those who pressured their mother, Queen Elizabeth II, to prevent him from attending, according to numerous reports in the UK. Charles and his eldest son, second in line to Prince William, convinced the 96-year-old queen that Andrew’s appearance would spark a “reaction” given the ongoing sex scandal between him and the late pedophile Jeffrey Ephera, reported by Telegraph. William and Charles, wearing hats, attended the spectacular parade on Monday, along with their wives, Catherine and Camilla, as well as many other members of the royal family who attended a service at St. George’s Chapel. Prince Andrew was barred from attending at the last minute after his 72-year-old brother was among those who pressured their mother, Queen Elizabeth II, to prevent him from attending.WireImage Andrew was later photographed looking frustrated as he drove alone to Windsor Castle after the parade – which the royal family calls “one of the most traditional ceremonies in the Queen’s calendar”. A source from Buckingham Palace confirmed to Reuters that Andrew’s absence at the last minute was a “family decision”. “It was a decision made by the household in the best interest of the family but also in the interest of the Duke of York,” a source told the Sun.

It was particularly timely, however, because it came just a day after British reports reported that Andrew was waiting to return to royal office and even take back his revoked titles. He drank his mother to become His Royal Highness again as well as the “Prince of Blood” and believes his position should be “recognized and respected,” a source told The Sunday Telegraph. “He was confident and positive that he could return,” The Sun source insisted on the embarrassed duke. The news came after reports that Andrew was waiting to return to his royal duties and even take back his stripped titles.REUTERS “His fight for return is rather doomed. “He has delusions if he believes that Charles or William will never let him return,” the source told the British newspaper. Andrew was not in the spotlight after stepping down in late 2019 after his disastrous attempts to deny knowing his longtime defendant Virginia Giuffre, who claims to have had sex with him on the orders of Epstein and Mrs. Ghislaine Maxwell. He lost most of his titles – including “His Royal Highness” – in February, shortly after a court case was settled with Giuffre to drop his sexual abuse lawsuit against him in Manhattan. Prince Andrew arrives quietly at Windsor Castle for a lunch before the crankcase. Kelvin Bruce / GoffPhotos.com Sources told The Post that the settlement was for $ 12 million and included a statement by the embarrassed prince who admitted that his accuser “suffered both as a standard victim of abuse and as a result of unjust public attacks”. “It is known that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked countless young girls for many years. “Prince Andrew regrets his relationship with Epstein and praises the bravery of Mrs Giuffre and other survivors in defending themselves and others.” With Post cables
