Prince Andrew ‘furious’ with King Charles over possible ‘humiliating’ ban, royal experts claim
Prince Andrew is faced with another major "letdown" as King Charles prepares for his coronation.The Duke of York is said to be "furious" over the possibility that he’ll be banned
from wearing his ceremonial roles when the king is crowned on May 6. The 63-year-old, a knight in the Order of the Garter, was expecting to wear his grand regalia, the Mirror
recently reported. However, the king is allegedly "torn" over this decision."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." According to reports, Prince Andrew (right) may be banned from wearing his ceremonial robes at King Charles' coronation. (Leon Neal/AFP via Getty Images)"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."According to the outlet, the king's coronation will be a "Collar Day," which means members of the Order of the Garter can wear the collar
that signifies the British orders of knighthood that they belong to.MEGHAN MARKLE, PRINCE HARRY'S FROGMORE COTTAGE EVICTION: PRINCE ANDREW ‘INSULTED’ BY NEW MOVE, EXPERTS SAY
