Princes Charles, William deem Andrew involvement in Platinum Jubilee a 'non-starter'

Prince Charles and Prince William will not let the limelight on Prince Andrew again, says expert.

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams tells Mirror:"In terms of royal events, I don't expect we will see Prince Andrew appear in the near future - if ever again.

"He won't play any kind of a role in the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, of that I think we can be quite sure.

"Prince Charles and William will be totally apposed to it, it's a non-starter.

"I do believe what we saw at Westminster Abbey was the Queen allowing him to physically supporting her after she supported him.

"It was an event he was always going to attend - let's not forget, he has lost his father." 

While the Duke of York, "tested the water and saw it as a 'springboard' to be given the green light to appear at the Queen's Platinum Jubilee," it is expected that Charles and William will put their foot down ahead of the summer celebrations.
