Royal Family News – The Duke Of York Has Covid

What does this mean for the Duke of York going forward? The contentious figure will likely not be seen in public for the duration of the four-day bank holiday. It’s been reported that he has seen his mother within the last several days with claims that he visits her every day in a bid to restore his public royal standing.

In February Prince Andrew paid a sex assault accuser millions of dollars in an out of court settlement and prior to that the queen stripped him of his titles and patronages.

Disgraced Andrew was not allowed at today’s celebrations even in a private capacity, showing just how far the Queen’s son has fallen from grace—even Harry and Meghan were allowed to be photographed celebrating the parade, albeit in what looked to be the outdoor equivalent of the kid’s table.

Andrew was forced to retreat from public life after a furor over his friendship with dead convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. This year he paid millions to settle a sexual assault case brought by a woman who claims she was a sex trafficking victim of Epstein, a woman Andrew claimed to have no recollection of despite a picture of him grinning with his arm around her bare waist being widely circulated.
