The Queen’s scandal-plagued son Prince Andrew will conveniently miss Friday’s platinum jubilee celebrations after testing positive for COVID, Buckingham Palace said Thursday.
The 70-year jubilee kicked off on Thursday with a balcony appearance by the queen, and will continue with a service of thanksgiving at St. Paul’s Cathedral on Friday.
“After undertaking a routine test the duke has tested positive for Covid and with regret will no longer be attending tomorrow’s service,” a palace spokesman said.
Andrew has been making daily visits to his mom recently in an attempt to make amends. But The Guardian reports that the royals have been doing regular COVID testing and the 96-year-old monarch has not been in close contact with Andrew since he tested positive. Read more at The Guardian.
Prince Andrew is a rodef. Why wasn’t that white male vaccinated? Why didn’t he wear a disposable mask? Setting a terrible example. Vinishmartem.
Agree that he is a rodef.
Just for a different of the Gimmel Chamuros.
Hence the headline calling his COVID convenient.
He has been privately shunned from the royal family and has been avoiding the public.
Prince Andrew is fully vaccinated and boosted. That’s the only way he was able to visit his mom the queen.
