Prince Andrew reportedly took half in official Coronation photographs – however the photographs won’t ever see the sunshine of day.
The disgraced Duke of York posed for the snaps in his ceremonial Garter robes however they’re “unlikely” to be launched, stories The Telegraph.
According to the outlet, the Duke, who’s not a working royal, joined different relations after the May 6 ceremony to have his image taken.
He allegedly requested that official photographer Hugo Burnand shoot him in his ceremonial robes, which he was given particular permission to put on by the King regardless of not holding a royal function.
Andrew stepped down from his public duties in 2019 after questions over his relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein culminated in a automobile crash Newsnight interview.
The navy gown is marked with the badge of the Order of the Garter, which is among the oldest and most senior orders of knighthood.
An insider advised the Telegraph: “Andrew wanted to be included in the photo shoot and requested that there would be time in the schedule for him to be photographed.
“He wanted to make sure there was an official record of his participation in his brother’s Coronation.
“But it is unlikely the images will be released by the palace.”
Plenty of portraits have since been launched by Buckingham Palace, together with the ‘Three Kings’ picture of King Charles, Prince William and Prince George.
Another exhibits the King and Queen with all of the working family members.
Andrew doesn’t seem in any of the official photographs which have been launched to this point.
It just isn’t recognized whether or not extra photographs might be launched, together with him and the opposite non-working royals.
Both Buckingham Palace and a spokesperson for Mr Burnand declined to remark.
