Prince Andrew allowed to wear formal robes for King's Coronation as Prince Harry dons suit

Prince Andrew attended King Charles' Coronation wearing a ceremonial robe, despite no longer being a working member of the royal family - but nephew Prince Harry wore a suit for the occasion.

The Duke of York was seen arriving at Westminster Abbey for his brother's crowning wearing his formal Order of the Garter robes. Andrew was previously banned by the late Queen from wearing the robes in public for her last Garter Day at Windsor Castle, The Mirror reports.

On his way to the Abbey, the disgraced prince was driven down The Mall in a state car and parts of the crowd in a grandstand in front of Buckingham Palace booed as he went past. Buckingham Palace confirmed earlier that Andrew would play no formal role in the Coronation ceremony with the release of the order of service, with name nor his title receiving no mention in the lengthy programme.
