The disgraced Duke of York will not take part in the Order of the Garter procession on Monday.
Prince Andrew, 63, did not take part in the procession last year but was allowed to wear the lavish robes at the coronation of the King and Queen on May 6.
His exclusion suggests that the King does not plan to soften his stance towards his embattled brother – who has been banned from many royal events since stepping back as a working royal in 2019.
The third child of the late Queen Elizabeth II is said to be embroiled in a fight over his £30million Windsor home, Royal Lodge, with his elder brother.
The home has been earmarked for the Prince and Princess of Wales, reports say, leaving Buckingham Palace aides desperate to shift Prince Andrew, despite 55 years remaining on his lease.
Last minute interventions by the now King and Prince of Wales prohibited the errant royal from participating in last year’s ceremony – although his name was already printed in the order of service alongside that of Prince Edward.
The Most Noble Order of the Garter, which is the oldest British order of chivalry and the oldest national order of knighthood in existence, is limited to 24 Knights or Ladies Companion in addition to the King and Prince of Wales.
It also includes ‘supernumerary members’, including foreign monarchs and other royals, such as Prince Andrew.
In celebration of the first parade of the King’s reign, Queen Camilla has been made a Royal Knight of the Order of the Thistle, Scotland’s greatest order of chivalry, joining the Princess Royal and Princess of Wales, who also hold the honour.
Prince Andrew is expected to be present at the investiture at Windsor Castle and at a lunch held in the Waterloo Chamber afterwards but will not be photographed with the rest of the family.
