Disgraced Prince Andrew resurfaces after skipping Queen’s Jubilee
Platinum Jubilee last week.The 62-year-old was spotted out and about on the grounds of Windsor Park on Thursday morning for the first time since he was forced to skip his mother’s festivities celebrating 70 years as monarch.The Duke of York passed on appearing with the rest of the Firm on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for Trooping the Colour, as well as other Jubilee celebrations, due to “conveniently” contracting COVID-19.Andrew was seen leaving his home at Windsor Park and getting into a large black Range Rover.The disgraced Prince — who was stripped of his military and royal titles earlier this year after being accused of sexual assault — got into the driver’s seat of his car and went for a ride out of the housing complex.A spokesperson for Buckingham Palace released a statement on June 2 noting that Andrew caught the coronavirus.“After undertaking a routine test, the duke has tested positive for COVID and with regret will no longer be attending tomorrow’s service,” the memo read.The Queen’s second son seemingly tested positive despite looking healthy while riding a horse just a day prior to the announcement.Royal watchers were skeptical of the diagnosis, taking to Twitter at the time to express their confusion. “Covid?? I call bulls–t on that one,” one Twitter user said.
