Prince Charles and William showed that they are now the decision makers in the Royal Family after Andrew missed out on Garter Day, say reports.
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.
As the Prince of Wales, Duke of Cambridge and other senior royals went through the grounds of Windsor Castle for a church service commemorating the Order of the Garter, Andrew stayed behind closed doors.
