Should Charles ban Andrew from wearing the ceremonial robes at the coronation?
King Charles could ban his disgraced brother from wearing ceremonial robes at the coronation on May 6 - and we want to know what YOU think.
Prince Andrew is reportedly ‘furious’ that he could be stripped of the privilege to wear the velvet robes and glistening insignia denoting his position as a Knight of the Garter.
His Majesty is said to be undecided over the decision after the Duke of York was forced to step back from royal duties following a sex abuse scandal, which he denies.
The Prince paid £12million in an out-of-court settlement to his accuser Viginia Giuffre, and was subsequently blocked from appearing alongside the late Queen in her final appearance at the traditional Garter Day procession in Windsor.
The coronation will be a designated “Collar Day” where members of the Order of the Garter may wear the regalia and collar to signify the British orders of knighthood they belong to.

As the Firm gears up for the momentous occasion, Andrew faces being ordered to wear a lounge suit after he was stripped of his military appointment Colonel of the Grenadier Guards - although he remains a Vice Admiral because of his service in the Royal Navy.
One source said the Duke of York had been “left completely in the dark” over his role and required dress for the coronation, despite other attendees being notified ahead of time.
The royal insider added: “Andrew is furious. He’s already not playing a part and now he feels he is being disrespected and dictated to over something he is fully entitled to (wear).”
