Although Prince Andrew walked side-by-side with his mother at Prince Philip’s March 29 memorial commemorating the one-year anniversary of his death, per People, his brother and his nephew might not want him taking such a prominent role at Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebration on June 2.
“In terms of royal events, I don’t expect we will see Prince Andrew appear in the near future — if ever again,” royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told The Mirror. “He won’t play any kind of a role in the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, of that I think we can be quite sure. Prince Charles and William will be totally opposed to it, it’s a non-starter.”
Of course, things can very well change by June. According to People, it was the queen who made sure Andrew walked with her, a decision she made despite advice from others in her circle.
“It shows she wholeheartedly loves and believes her son,” royal commentator Robert Johnson told People. “As she did when she made a statement about Camilla being Queen’s Consort, many people will now accept the Queen’s word and judgment.”
