Prince Andrew set to make first official royal appearance since sex assault case settlement

Prince Andrew has been spotted in his car near Windsor castle ahead of  his father Prince Philip's memorial. 

The Duke of York will make his first official royal appearance at the Edinburgh's memorial tomorrow ((March 29). It will be Andrew's first public engagement since his father's funeral last year. 

The Queen's son stepped down from royal duties in November 2019 and has been keeping a low profile ever since. 

In January, the 95-year-old monarch stripped Andrew of his military and HRH titles, following the news that the prince was to face a civil sexual abuse trial in the US. 

Prince Andrew reached an out-of-court settlement in principle with his accuser Virginia Giuffre in February. The settlement was not an admission of guilt, and Andrew has vehemently denied all claims against him.
