Buckingham Palace announced the Queen’s decision to cast Andrew out of the royal fold in a statement on Thursday
A stony-faced Andrew was spotted leaving the lodge on Saturday morning with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson. They are not believed to have been present at the shoot itself.
The shooting party was understood to have been a Christmas present from the Queen to Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack, who invited along family friends.
‘It seems quite brazen of Andrew to host a party and let his family go shooting with all the controversy raging,’ a source told the Sun on Sunday.
The Palace said previously that the Duke’s military appointments were in abeyance after he stepped down from public duties in 2019.
그러나, up until a few days ago, he still retained the roles, including the position of Colonel of the Grenadier Guards, one of the oldest and most emblematic regiments in the British Army.
His other British honorary military titles are: RAF Lossiemouth 명예 공군 소장; 왕립 아일랜드 연대의 대령; 소형 무기 학교 군단의 대령; 공군 함대 총사령관; Royal Highland Fusiliers의 왕실 대령; 왕실 창기병 부총장 (Queen Elizabeths’ Own); and Royal colonel of the Royal Regiment of Scotland.

Andrew’s stunning downfall, which also saw him stripped of his royal patronages ‘with the Queen’s approval and agreement’ 지난 목요일, comes as his family abandoned him to fight his sex abuse lawsuit in America as a private citizen.
A US judge unequivocally rejected the prince’s bid to have his sex abuse case thrown out, leaving him facing the prospect of being cross-examined for seven hours on camera with embarrassing questions on everything from his sex life and ‘private parts’.
The Duke has been urged to settle out of court with his accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre ‘for the sake of his mother’, who celebrates her Platinum Jubilee this year.
But he could face difficulties given Ms Giuffre is said to be pushing for ‘her day in court’.
He is only the 5th royal in recent history to stop officially using the HRH title, with Princess Diana and Sarah, 요크 공작 부인, losing the styling after their divorce, while Prince Harry and Meghan Markle agreed to lose theirs publicly as part of their ‘Megxit’ deal with the Queen.
But like Harry and Meghan, Andrew will privately retain the title inside Palace walls, meaning he will not have to start bowing to all HRH members of the family.
The decision to shred Andrew’s military ties is likely to be particularly painful for the Royal Navy veteran, who served with distinction as a helicopter pilot during the Falklands War.
Buckingham Palace had announced the Queen’s decision to cast Andrew out of the royal fold in a statement.
‘With The Queen’s approval and agreement, The Duke of York’s military affiliations and Royal patronages have been returned to The Queen,’ 읽었다. '요크 공작은 계속해서 공무를 수행하지 않을 것이며 민간인으로서 이 사건을 변호하고 있습니다.’
