Downcast Prince Andrew leaves Westminster Abbey where he was sitting on same row as Harry - after the Duke was allowed to wear formal robes for Coronation despite having no role

"The Duke of York was today dressed in formal Order of the Garter robes - despite having no formal role in the Coronation. He played no part in the ceremony or procession behind the Gold State Coach that carried the newly crowned King and Queen to the Palace.

Andrew, 63, and Duke of Sussex, 38 - who sat on the same row in the Abbey - were today mere spectators to the occasion given that they are no longer working royals. But while Andrew donned Garter robes, Prince Harry appeared wearing a suit.

Prince Andrew's attire today reflected an apparent softening of the royal family's stance towards him - after he was banned by the late Queen from wearing the robes in public for her last Garter Day at Windsor Castle.

But the Duke of York appeared with a serious, downcast look on his face as he emerged from the Abbey following the service.

Andrew stepped back from royal duties after his car crash Newsnight interview and the furore over his friendship with paedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein."
