Prince Andrew spotted with Sarah Ferguson inspecting floral tributes to Queen as King Charles visits Wales

Prince Andrew has been joined by ex-wife Sarah Ferguson to view the beautiful tributes to Queen Elizabeth in Windsor.

The Queen's second-eldest son could be seen walking about the castle grounds this morning, viewing the carpet of flowers left by members of the public.

He was joined by his ex-wife, from whom he divorced in 1996 and shares daughters Princess Beatrice and Eugenie.

Sarah Ferguson was seen crouching down to inspect the flowers and read some of the messages left.

The thousands of bouquets are currently being moved from the Long Walk leading up to the castle and placed inside the grounds each night.

Prince Andrew could be seen inspecting the tributes privately earlier this morning (Friday).

The royal has made several public appearances following the Queen's death last week, after officially retiring from public duties over scandal surrounding his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

Andrew joined several members of the Royal Family outside Balmoral last weekend, including his daughters, Princess Anne and Prince Edward.

He also joined the family during Monday's royal procession down Edinburgh's Royal Mile, escorting the Queen's coffin to St Giles' Cathedral.

One member of the crown was arrested after heckling Prince Andrew during the procession. Police Scotland have since confirmed the man was charged with breaching the peace.

The Duke of York is currently stationed at Windsor while King Charles undertakes his first tour as monarch of the four countries, with today's leg of the tour in Wales.

A decision to allow Andrew to wear uniform for this week's vigils has been criticised by some members of the public after the Queen stripped him of all honorary military roles.

He was given the green light to wear his Navy garb despite having his HRH title and Colonel of the Grenadier Guards removed.

The Prince permanently resigned from all public roles in May 2020 following a Newsnight interview in which he was questioned on his relationship with child abuser Epstein and allegations of sexual impropriety.

It's understood that Andrew won't be wearing uniform for Monday's state funeral, however, while commentators believe he will disappear from public life altogether afterwards.
