Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, was banned from attending all Garter Day events on Monday, June 15, 2026, according to multiple reports. The 66-year-old royal was excluded from the procession and service at Windsor Castle, marking a further removal from public royal duties.
The decision, reportedly made by King Charles III, means Andrew will not participate in any element of the annual Order of the Garter ceremony. This is the latest in a series of privileges stripped from Andrew since his legal troubles and withdrawal from public life.
Buckingham Palace has not commented on the specific reasons for the ban, but it follows Andrew's settlement of a civil sexual assault lawsuit in February 2022 and his subsequent loss of military titles and royal patronages. The King has been gradually reducing Andrew's remaining royal perks.
