Prince Andrew Expected to Rejoin Royal Duties Following Easter Appearance

Prince Andrew made a surprise return to public life by attending the royal family's Easter service at St George's Chapel, Windsor, his first public appearance in a year. Accompanied by his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, Andrew's presence was seen by royal commentators as a possible step toward reintegration, signaling family unity but not yet amounting to a full comeback. Royal experts suggest King Charles is supportive of his brother and does not want him to be completely ostracized, while Prince William reportedly remains a strong opponent to Andrew's return, fueling ongoing friction within the family. The absence of William and Kate at the service, who attended church elsewhere with their children, is believed to have made Andrew's appearance less fraught. Andrew is said to feel somewhat vindicated following recent statements by his accuser, Virginia Giuffre. Despite speculation about his future role, most observers agree it is too soon to declare a formal royal comeback for the Duke of York.
