Prince Andrew will not wear a military uniform, unlike other senior British royals, at Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, underlining his continuing estrangement from the family.

Andrew was stripped of his “His Royal Highness” and honorary military titles at the start of the year amid ongoing fallout from a sex assault scandal.

The 62-year-old reappeared in public this weekend having been effectively banished from royal life over allegations he had sex with a victim of American child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

He was photographed being driven to the queen’s Balmoral estate on Thursday, the day of her death, and appeared alongside other grieving senior royals on Saturday and Sunday in Scotland.

While fellow family members will wear uniform for five separate commemorative events for the queen, including her state funeral next Monday, Andrew will only don military colours for a final vigil in Westminster Hall, Britain’s domestic Press Association news agency said.
