As the coronation of Charles III approached, some details of the ceremony were frequently made public. And here is not only the process arrangement, but also the emergence of "brother palace fight".
According to the "Mirror" local time on March 7, after solving the initial results of his youngest son Harry, Charles turned his attention to his second brother Prince Andrew. Although the scandal-ridden prince will be invited to his brother's coronation, he will most likely be forbidden to wear ornate velvet robes and a feather tricorn hat, the so-called "knight's suit".
As the favorite child of the late Queen Elizabeth II, Andrew has no hope of sitting on the throne, but basically he will have a share of what Charles has. The commentary pointed out that his "spare tire" feeling is not strong compared to Harry, and it can even be said that it feels better, because he can do whatever he wants, even if he does something wrong, he has his mother to protect him.
Like his brother, Andrew also has the "Order of the Garter", the highest first-class medal in the British honours system, which only a few people can receive. Therefore, it is not excessive for him to appear majestically at his brother's coronation in a "knight's suit". But the problem is, this is not what Charles wants to see.
In the eyes of the 74-year-old British king, since his second brother is no longer allowed to perform the duties of a senior member of the royal family because of his disgraceful past, he should quietly appear at the ceremony.
Andrew expressed anger at Charles' highly likely decision. According to one royal insider: "Andrew was angry. He has not worked for the royal family for a long time, and now he is treated like this, it is difficult for his self-esteem to accept", "He thinks that he has the right to control his own things, he can wear it as he wants, and he does not need to obey the arrangements of others at all." ”
However, there are also comments that Andrew does not need to be angry, and Charles does not mean to target him, but wants to hold a more "short and concise" ceremony, and even he himself broke the tradition and no longer wore stockings and breeches. "Since Andrew is no longer His Highness, it really doesn't make sense for him to dress up too grandly."
But judging from recent developments, Andrew wants to wear a "knight's suit", not all to be glamorous on grand occasions, he has further ambitions, that is, to regain his position.
He had already begun to prepare to overturn Virginia Giufrey's accusations against him, even if an out-of-court settlement had been reached. It is reported that Andrew has never admitted that he violated Virginia, and now he wants to countersue the other party for ulterior motives.
On the other hand, his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, has also appeared in the public eye in recent times because she feels that she can finally "talk freely about the royal family".
Perhaps for the sake of eyeballs, perhaps for the heart, Sarah, while praising the queen in every way, also put together things that science could not explain, saying that she and her former mother-in-law's soul had intersected. "Corgis live with me and we go out and then they bark into the air, and I think the queen happened to be passing by when they did that".
Sarah's move is also considered a way to "consume" the royal family, while also protecting her ex-husband as much as possible, even at the cost of moving out of the late queen.
Sarah and Andrew have never broken off their relationship, although they have not remarried, but when things happen, they will unite, after all, they have two daughters, and they can be regarded as a community of destiny.
