Owen Jones has lashed out at plans to involve Prince Andrew in the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
The columnist said the Duke of York's appearance could "sully" celebrations, adding: "He should accept no role of any description in public life."
Prince Andrew, who stepped down from royal duties in the wake of a sex scandal, missed Trooping the Colour today but is expected to attend a Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral with family members tomorrow.
