However, some leaped to Prince Andrew’s defence. “He is her son. Prince Philip was his father. He has every right to attend the memorial with the rest of his family,” one royal fan said.
However, others weren’t happy. “A show of support that she thinks will lead to his reintegration into society. No chance. Public mood greatly misjudged,” one said.
Meanwhile, a notable absence today was Prince Harry. He didn’t fly over from the United States to attend.
One royal expert has said that the Duke of Sussex will live with a “lifetime of regret” over his decision not to attend.
