Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is at his first royal event since being stripped of his titles as he attends the christening of his granddaughter Athena.
The former prince arrived at St James’s Palace in London in a green Range Rover on Friday morning, entering via a side gate away from waiting media.
He had been expected to attend the christening of Princess Beatrice’s daughter in the palace’s Chapel Royal.
Andrew’s attendance comes after the King officially stripped his disgraced brother of both his HRH style and his prince title because of his “serious lapses of judgment” over his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
His ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, who also lost her courtesy royal divorcee title and has reverted to her maiden name, is thought to have arrived separately for the christening earlier on Friday.
Athena, the daughter of Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, was born on January 22 and is the couple’s second child.
