Prince Andrew dealt double blow that highlights uncertain royal future
ok.co.ukThe Royal Family made a grand return to the public eye last week with a united front at the Trooping the Colour. Just two days later, they regrouped for the annual Order of the Garter procession at Windsor Castle.
Both events are deeply rooted in history and hold significant importance in the Royal calendar. However, one family member was noticeably absent from both occasions.
The Order of the Garter, founded in 1348 by King Edward III, is Britain's oldest and most prestigious order of chivalry. King Charles, Princess Anne, and Prince William are all members, as is Prince Andrew, who has been a Knight of the Garter since 2006.
However, he was conspicuously missing from Monday's procession. Andrew last attended the Garter Day service in 2019.
