The Duke of York has been dealt yet another blow as he remains exiled from the Royal Family, and it's likely this one will have been a particular personal sting for him.
Prince Andrew 's woes continued into 2025 after a challenging 2024. The start of the new year brought another blow for the embattled royal.
Now it has emerged that Andrew was excluded from a dinner honouring his alma mater at Windsor Castle - despite residing just a few miles away on the Royal estate. Gordonstoun boasts a list of notable alumni, including two generations of British royalty - Prince Philip and his son, King Charles. The school also educated Duncan Jones, the son of musician David Bowie, and Jason Connery, the son of actor Sir Sean Connery.
Over the next five years, he studied a broad curriculum and participated in various activities outside the classroom, such as sailing, being part of HM's Coastguard unit, taking lead roles in drama productions, singing in the school choir, and playing the trumpet and cello. King Charles left Gordonstoun in 1967 with an impressive set of qualifications, bagging five O-levels and two A-levels, which paved his way to Cambridge University.
