In a rare appearance, Prince Andrew was seen at the traditional Easter Sunday service at Windsor Castle alongside the King and Queen. Notably absent were the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William, and Kate Middleton.
Accompanying Andrew were the Princess Royal, his ex-wife Sarah, Duchess of York, and Anne’s husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence. The royal family members were observed exchanging greetings outside the chapel, with Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles, and Camilla also making their presence known to the gathered crowds.
Andrew’s public appearances have been scarce following his withdrawal from official duties amidst controversies tied to his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and a civil sexual assault case. His absence from last year’s Christmas gathering at Sandringham added to the ongoing scrutiny surrounding his links to an alleged Chinese spy. Moreover, his refusal to express regret over his relationship with Epstein during a 2019 Newsnight interview further fueled public criticism.
