As I was saying on 28th June, 2026 (what’s that in normal calendar terms then – I guess the standard year still operates as usual, does it? No changes on that front), the former Duke of York made a rare appearance this weekend to show a degree of support, albeit a very low-key kind, for some of his family’s more active members. He was at Sandringham for the 2026 Horse Driving Trials, a day to watch Duchess Sophie compete – the wife of Edward. I wonder if it was that type of “wife” with which Prince Andrew had issues.
