QUEEN URGED TO STOP 'SHELTERING' PRINCE ANDREW BY GMB GUEST Andrew stepped down from life as a working royal following his BBC Newsnight interview two years ago. He spoke to


journalist Emily Maitlis about his association with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who killed himself in jail a few months before the interview. He noted in his resignation


statement in November 2019 that he continues “to unequivocally regret my ill-judged association with Jeffrey Epstein”. RELATED ARTICLES Epstein’s ex-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested


last July by the FBI on multiple charges related to his sexual abuse of young women and girls between 1994 and 1997. Ms Maxwell has pleaded not guilty and vehemently denies the charges. She


was denied bail and is now waiting for her trial, to be held this summer, behind bars. Ms Maxwell's brother Ian also spoke to BBC Radio 4’s Today Programme on Wednesday about the


British socialite, and briefly mentioned her association with Andrew. Ms Maxwell is reported to have introduced the Duke of York to Epstein in the Nineties. Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and

a friend, although the Duke of York has not publicly commented on his relationship with Ms Maxwell. Andrew has rarely been seen in public since his resignation, as he is no longer a


representative of the Queen and so does not carry out royal engagements on her behalf. Just two months after he took early retirement, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex also announced they were


going to be stepping down from the royal frontline in 2020. When the Sussexes announced their sudden royal departure in January last year, they dominated the headlines, meaning the


international conversation moved away from Andrew’s resignation. But, during a discussion on True Royalty TV, royal commentators Omid Scobie and Daisy McAndrew claimed Andrew had embarked on


a surprise public engagement just four months after he stepped down. READ MORE:  KATE SCARED OF DOING ANYTHING CONTROVERSIAL BEFORE OPRAH INTERVIEW Ghislaine Maxwell is waiting for her

“Someone has been buried under all of the headlines.” Ms McAndrew replied: “We have seen Andrew popping up, which has been fascinating. “For the first time in a long time, he has done an


official royal visit. “It was a memorial service, Sir Malcolm Ross, I think, was his name. “It actually happened at the exact time all eyes were watching the Commonwealth service where, of


course, we had Harry, Meghan, William, Kate and the Queen. “But not Andrew - people were expecting him not to be there. “They weren’t expecting him to be going on a royal visit to this


memorial service. “Many people in his circle have been saying this was no coincidence.” DON'T MISS Andrew’s birthday party invitation ‘declined’ by Meghan and Harry [EXPLAINED] Royal

royal engagement was the Commonwealth Day service last year (Image: Getty) Meghan and Harry’s final royal engagements with the rest of the Royal Family took place on Commonwealth Day on


March 9. The event was highly-anticipated because royal watchers believed the Sussexes’ decision to step down had fractured their relationships with the rest of the Firm. The couple had also


returned to the UK just to carry out those final engagements, having spent the majority of the previous five months in Canada. It was reported to be the first time Harry had seen his


brother Prince William since they had hashed out the details of their exit at a tense meeting in Norfolk, dubbed the Sandringham Summit, so the public were watching attentively to gain an


insight into their relationship. Royal news: Some are wondering why Andrew is not under more scrutiny than the Sussexes (Image: Getty) RELATED ARTICLES There was also a furore around Meghan


and Harry’s entrance as when they were working as senior royals, they used to join the procession with the Queen into Westminster Abbey during the annual service. On this occasion the couple


were conducted to their seats before the Queen’s arrival as they were just days from officially leaving the royal frontline. This allegedly caused some tensions as it showcased the


couple's demotion, so the Cambridges agreed to also walk to their seats before the Queen arrived. However, it did not escape the public’s notice that when the two couples greeted one


another there was an undeniable frostiness in the air.
