Queen Elizabeth II stripped Prince Andrew of his honorary titles and royal patronages. But, she would not go as far as to “denounce” her second son, according to an expert.

Express UK said that the assertions came from Victoria Arbiter, who discussed the latest controversy about the British Monarch and the Duke of York. She wrote her thoughts in a column for the Australian lifestyle site 9Honey.

She said that the Queen “unleashed a wave of fury” upon arriving at the memorial service, alongside her son. She recalled that the actions “arguably elicited worldwide scorn,” adding that the “condemnation that followed was loud and extreme.”

But, even so, the royal commentator asserted that Prince Andrew’s presence will always remain “controversial.” This is despite the fact that he “has yet to be investigated, charged, or convicted of a crime.”

Arbiter continued that Queen Elizabeth II would not, also, “go as far as ‘denouncing him as her son.’” Although, she had already taken away his titles and patronages.

In the end, however, the expert emphasized that the Duke of York “had every right to attend” Prince Philip’s memorial service. She noted, as well, that “if the Queen wanted him by her side, then so be it.”

Prince Andrew and Queen Elizabeth II appeared to have shocked the world upon arriving at the Service of Thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey, side by side, with her on the arm of her second son. It marked a rare public appearance for the royal-born Prince, and it was, also, his first since settling his civil sexual assault case out of the court.

The royals, especially the Duke of York, have since received criticisms and waves of backlash due to the surprising moment at the event. Some even alleged that Prince Charles and Prince William were against it, although the British Monarch had the final say.

Following the controversy, Richard Pohle, the only official photographer inside the Westminster Abbey on the day of the Thanksgiving Service, talked about what happened inside the venue. He revealed that he was “initially told not to capture” Queen Elizabeth II’s arrival with Prince Andrew, according to People.

In a piece he wrote for The Times, the photographer recalled how he “balked at the order.” As stated, a Buckingham Palace press officer informed him that he “would not be permitted” to take pictures of the British Monarch until she took her seat.

Pohle argued that BBC was broadcasting the entire event, adding that he should be able to take still images. He, also, noted that there were speculations about the Queen using a "buggy or even a wheelchair."

So, "if I had no picture of that, I would have the entire British media asking why not."
