– in Westminster Abbey, London – of the almost 96-year-old Queen Elizabeth after more than 5 months of absence from the stage by order of the doctors. Emotion for the shining eyes of the elderly sovereign, who in the meantime today commemorates the twentieth anniversary of the farewell to the popular queen mother; controversy over his choice to be accompanied on the way from Windsor Castle to the entrance to the church by the most controversial of his 4 children: the third son Andrea, deprived of the official titles of representation of the family just a few months ago due to involvement in the suspects of the sexual scandal and the exploitation of underage girls linked to the figure of the deceased American fixer Jeffrey Epstein.
Choice branded as “a stain” on the religious function and on the Royal Family by the Mirror, and underlined on the front page with obvious perplexity by the Guardian as well as by other newspapers. While, among the popular newspapers, even the right-wing (and monarchist) Daily Mail does not hesitate to openly evoke feelings of “bewilderment” at the image of Elizabeth II on the arm of the “shameless Duke” of York: albeit blaming the incident only to the latter (therefore not to His Majesty), to the fact that he apparently tried to take advantage of the public opportunity to regain the center of the stage in the family photos among the royals of the Windsor house and blatantly claim those blood ties that however, they cannot be denied him. An attitude that, according to the usual anonymous sources dear to the tabloids, seems to have also triggered “the strong” irritation of the elder brother, the heir to the throne Charles, and of the eldest son of these (second in line of succession to the crown) William: future kings to whom – at the time – had been credited with a decisive weight in convincing the queen to exclude the now unpresentable “favorite son” Andrew from any formal role within the dynasty.
