The disgraced Royal made a surprise return to public life yesterday at the King’s Easter church service.

The Duke of York, 65, has been pictured laughing and smiling whilst on horseback this Bank Holiday Monday.
He appeared to look startled after noticing his picture being taken whilst at Windsor.
It comes just hours after the Duke breezed into the ceremony at St George’s Chapel, Windsor, accompanied by ex-wife Sarah Ferguson yesterday.
Experts believe it is significant as it comes just weeks after his sex accuser Virginia Giuffre bizarrely claimed to be dying in Australia.
Royal expert Phil Dampier said it is now “only a matter of time” before he is fully welcomed back into the fold.
He said Charles still loves his brother “and he doesn’t want him to be completely outcast”.
He added: “It was very much a show of family unity.
“He’s not totally out in the cold, but I think it’s too early to say it’s any kind of comeback for him.”
He said Andrew is desperate to return and likely feels Ms Giuffre’s latest claims “slightly vindicates him”.
Mr Dampier believes Kate and William’s decision to stay away was not linked to Andrew.
But he went on: “It is absolutely true to say that William is one of the driving forces behind making sure there’s no future for the Duke of York.
“He doesn’t believe he can make a comeback, and there is, I’m told, quite a lot of friction between them. It made it a lot easier, I think, for Andrew that William wasn’t there.”
