Prince Andrew has caused controversy by attending the coronation of King Charles III wearing full ceremonial robes. The Duke of York was booed by crowds as he was driven to the coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey on Saturday (May 6).
The duke first stepped down from public life after a disastrous BBC interview in 2019 that provoked furore over his long-standing friendship with the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. He later paid £12 million in an out-of-court settlement to his accuser Virginia Giuffre.
As a result of the controversy, the late Queen banned Andrew from wearing formal Order of the Garter robes during her final Garter Day at Windsor Castle. But at today's ceremony, the Duke of York entered the abbey wearing them, the Mirror reports.
