His bid to join the public royal procession on Garter Day soon after in 2022 was scuppered when Charles and William lobbied the Queen, insisting he only attended the private service and lunch.

Andrew is believed to have received an annual salary from the Queen’s £21million a year private Duchy of Lancaster income. These will no doubt come in consultation with his eldest son and heir, the Duke of Cornwall and Cambridge. Charles will have to decide whether to fund his brother’s lifestyle, as the Queen did. The duke rushed to his mother’s bedside at Balmoral on Thursday, joining Charles, the Princess Royal, the Earl and Countess of Wessex and Camilla, now Queen Consort.

The headlines mattered. The allegations mattered. And the alleged victims mattered.

It made for grand TV as this pompous ass came completely off the rails. The prince has always had dodgy judgement when it came to the company he keeps. With her death on Thursday at the age of 96, Andrew has suddenly lost his last ally in the Royal Family. The disgraced royal — for some bizarre reason — had always been the monarch’s favourite child. The allegations mattered. The headlines mattered.
