Prince Andrew was left ”crushed and confused” at being barred from Garter Day having thought he had been given the green light to attend, claimed a royal expert.
Finding Freedom author Omid Scobie also said that the royals’ “reluctance to completely remove Prince Andrew” is damaging and “reflects terribly on the family”.
The Duke of York was forced to remain out of sight during the Garter Day procession after a "family decision" was taken to limit his appearance to a behind-the-scenes lunch and investiture ceremony.
