The Duke of
York had hoped to step out alongside senior members of the Royal Family for the
Garter Day service at St George's Chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle. But
Andrew has reportedly been blocked from appearing in public at the ceremony
after the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge lobbied the Queen.
The
disgraced royal will only be allowed at private aspects of the event.
Charles and
William are said to have raised fears of a "backlash" from the public
if he stepped out for the service.
The heirs
to the throne reportedly agreed their position before telling the monarch who
made the final decision.
A source
told the Sun: “It was a decision taken by the household for the best interests
of the family but also the best interests of the Duke of York.”
Andrew, who
is a Garter Knight, was reportedly plotting the move as part of a royal return
which would have seen him attend Royal Ascot later this week.
A source
said: “He was confident and bullish he can make a comeback.”
But palace
insiders branded his bid to make a comeback as "delusional".
It comes as
the Duke is reportedly demanding his HRH status reinstated, along with his
Colonel of the Grenadier Guards role.
