The King’s decision to allow Andrew to attend in his is in danger of backfiring. The disgraced duke, refused permission to wear military uniform at his mother’s funeral, is now lobbying for a more public role at next month’s Garter Day events. Last year he wasn’t allowed to take part in the public garter procession to St George’s Chapel. Now his case is that the public has been reminded that he is a member of the oldest order of chivalry, so trying to hide him away no longer makes sense. No good deed goes unpunished, Charles!Charles is continuing his mother’s tradition of distributing the Coronation Medal to the wider Royal Family with Harry and Meghan expected to receive theirs imminently.

As the memento includes an image of Queen Camilla, will Harry be tempted to follow suit?Princess Anne’s current Canadian trip just three weeks after Prince Edward’s return irks the King who wants to reduce duplication among his smaller band of working royals.

HM wants to introduce a centralised system so the ‘royal stardust is spread more evenly’. Good luck with his wilful sister Anne!
