Prince Andrew's appearance at a Thanksgiving Service honoring the late King Constantine of Greece has garnered attention. The Duke of York, accompanied by his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, joined members of the British royal family at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle for the memorial service.
Prince Andrew's presence at the event surprised many, given his withdrawal from public duties in 2019 following his controversial interview regarding his association with Jeffrey Epstein. Despite relinquishing his military titles and patronages in 2022, Prince Andrew has continued to participate in family gatherings and events.
Similarly, Sarah Ferguson, known as Fergie, has also been seen at recent royal engagements. The couple, who officially divorced in 1996 but remain on amicable terms, have been spotted together at various occasions, including the recent Christmas Day church outing.
Both Prince Andrew and Fergie have shown support for each other during challenging times, with Fergie acknowledging the difficulties of witnessing her ex-husband's public scrutiny. The couple's daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, have also been part of family gatherings, with Princess Beatrice attending the Thanksgiving Service alongside her husband.
Notably, King Charles was absent from the memorial service due to ongoing cancer treatment, with Queen Elizabeth leading the British royal family in his place. The event brought together members of royal families from around the world to honor the late King Constantine, who passed away in January 2023 at the age of 82.
The strong ties between the British and Greek royal families were evident at the service, with Prince Philip's connection to Greece and Prince William's role as the godfather of Crown Prince Pavlos and Crown Princess Marie-Chantal's eldest son further highlighting the familial bonds.
