Prince Andrew ‘furious’ with King Charles over possible 'humiliating' ban, royal experts claim

King Charles III and Prince William prefer to keep Prince Andrew, the disgraced Duke of York “away from public engagements in general,” one royal expert alleged.
"The letdown for Charles' younger brother may be even worse than what has been reported," Christopher Andersen, author of "The King," told Fox News Digital. "Prince Andrew would normally have been entitled to wear something even grander than his blue velvet Knight of the Garter getup." Stephanie Nolasco covers entertainment at Foxnews.com.
"As the king's brother and the Duke of York, he would presumably wear the same jaw-dropping costume Prince Philip wore at Queen Elizabeth's coronation: a flowing red velvet robe draped with five ermine tails, not to mention his own coronet," Andersen shared. "This may be just one more example of the palace's desire to make this an ‘animal cruelty-free' coronation, and that means no ermine - which, by the way, has been a staple of the royal coronation wardrobe for centuries."
"Maybe nobody in this coronation ceremony will be wearing ermine - or fur of any kind, for that matter," Andersen continued. "[But] being a Knight of the Garter is a big deal - it is the senior order of knighthood in the realm - but not as big as being a duke and the brother of the king."
