A ROYAL expert has claimed that Prince Andrew is "probably very depressed" about not being included in the Order of the Garter procession on Monday.
The Order of the Garter is an annual tradition which sees the monarch and the rest of the royal family honour the Knights of the Garter at a special event on the grounds of Windsor Castle.
Ingrid Seward, a royal commentator, told GB News that Andrew is probably "completely lost" but "unable to do anything".
Seward added: "Especially seeing all his family riding at the trooping on Saturday when only a few years before he was doing the same thing".
Prince Andrew was snubbed last year, making this the second year in a row.
The oldest order of chivalry in Britain, the Order of the Garterfounded by Edward III in 1348 to recognise contributions to public service – with the King nominating a select few each year.
Most senior working royals are also members, including King Charles and Queen Camilla.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
