Disgraced Prince Andrew was forced to wear a morning suit rather than his military uniform Monday for his mother, Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral.
Despite being granted permission to wear the uniform to a vigil for the queen over the weekend, the scandal-scared royal stood out during the procession to Westminster Abbey.
Andrew, 62, had been stripped of his royal duties and titles by his mother after being disgraced over his friendship with late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
He was forced to quit public life in 2019 after a trainwreck BBC interview in which he claimed to have never met his sexual abuse accuser Virginia Giuffre and defended his friendship with convicted sex offender Epstein.
Earlier this year, he settled a sex abuse lawsuit with Giuffre for a reported $12 million.
The prince, a former Royal Navy helicopter pilot who flew in the 1982 Falklands War, initially retained his military titles.
