Fresh off his tone-deaf dismay at being forced to move into a tiny, five-bedroom home comes the revelation that Prince Andrew is “furious” over his brother’s decision to “disrespect” him by banning him from wearing the flowing ceremonial velvet robes of the chivalric Order of the Garter at the Coronation.
The brewing row, reported by The Mirror, recalls the standoff between Andrew and the royals at the funeral of Prince Philip, when Andrew sought to wear his Vice Admiral uniform, even apparently going to the extent of getting a new one made by his London tailor. He remains a Vice Admiral because of his service in the Royal Navy.
Andrew was stripped of his royal roles as the Virginia Giuffre case unfolded, but retained some military associations, and so is, strictly speaking, entitled to wear the military uniform at official events.
