Despite being the brother of King Charles, it is understood Prince Andrew will not appear in any ceremonial role at the monarch’s coronation event.
Having being stripped of his military titles and royal patronages following his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein and accusations of sexual abuse, the Daily Mail reports it wouldn’t be appropriate to have Andrew in any role of prominence, as far as the King is concerned.
And while Andrew is still a Knight of the Garter, which traditionally means a significant role in coronation ceremonies, it’s reportedly not enough to persuade Charles to include him.
At the late Queen Elizabeth II’s 1953 coronation, four Garter Knights were selected to stand in support at the four corners of the coronation Chair as Her Majesty was anointed.
It was thought that King Charles would choose Prince William and his siblings, Anne, Andrew and Edward, for the role at his, but the Daily Mail reports sources close to the Palace have dismissed the notion that Andrew would be given such an important cameo.
