Snubbed Prince Andrew heads to Windsor for lunch with Queen
Andrew, 62, was stripped of his official duties in January as he prepared to pay a settlement to Virginia Giuffre. He pulled out of today's Order of the Garter ceremony, despite being member of the ancient order of chivalry.
In a last-minute U-turn, the prince backed out of attending public aspects of the annual ceremony at Windsor. Behind the scenes there was concern about the spectacle of the shamed prince walking in his robes in public. Despite his non-appearance today, the duke believes he should be included in other royal and state events.
