The Duke of York has asked the Queen to be reinstated as Colonel of the Grenadier Guards, The Telegraph understands, as he pushes for a return to royal duties.
Prince Andrew has been lobbying the monarch for his status as a blood prince to be restored, meaning readmittance to official events alongside other members of his family.
He has also been pushing for his daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, to be made working royals.
A source said: “The colonelcy of the Grenadier Guards was his most coveted title and he wants it back. Having remained a Counsellor of State, he also believes he should be included at royal and state events.
“Most importantly for him is his status as an HRH and ‘Prince of the Blood’ and he feels that should be reinstated and his position recognised and respected.”
As first revealed in The Telegraph, the Duke will appear in public on Monday alongside senior members of the Royal family at the annual Order of the Garter ceremony, resplendent in full regalia as he takes part in the colourful procession at Windsor Castle.
It will be his first official outing since he controversially took centre stage at the Duke of Edinburgh’s memorial service in March.

The Queen’s been a stabilizing force in the world for decades - I hope the Brits keep the monarchy.
Unfortunately what follows Elizabeth will not be stabilizing.
OK, ditch the bitch and then we’ll talk
I don’t think Charles is going to retire quickly or even soon. He’s been hanging around and taking flak for decades waiting for EII to give it up. He’s gonna be there for the duration when he does get it, IMO.
As for who comes after him? I say a whole new royal line, if any.
“You can say whatever you want, but your opinions on the British Monarchy don’t really count.”
My opinions of the British monarchy count as much as my opinions on the American oligarchy
Your auto-correct just invented a wonderful new name for Meghan Markle. :)
I was talking about Andrew’s retirement, which the family is supposedly working on right now.
William will succeed Charles, and the British public seems to be looking forward to William as king.
My bad.....oh well....... But IMO, the only one there worth a spit was EII.....
His hooker money has dried up.
And your opinions on their opinions don’t really count.
What is so strikingly arrogant to me is that he doesnt seem to care that he could hurt the Firm with his antics and scupper any chance of his daughters being let in..at this point they are going to need working royals to shoulder the load. And it will be the rugby players family and Edwards family..not Andy’s offspring
:)
Agreed, he is an entitled prat, and his mother has done him no favors enabling his boorish and unethical behavior over the years. His daughters and their husbands are sort of in with the Firm’s work at the moment, and they did well participating in some public events during the Jubilee. Eugenie seems to be going in a different direction (moving to Portugal), but it wouldn’t hurt Charles and William to have the support of Anne and Tim, Edward and Sophie, Zara and Mike and Beatrice and Edo.
Coincidentally, Eugenie is the daughter with the closest ties to Harry.
You miss the actual point
Andrew is in the vernacular, “black pussy whipped”. The American Black movement is behind the current effort. The Queen of England has disrespected Black America and that can not, and will not be tolerated.
Andrew is but a pawn in the advancement of American Africanization
Meg believes that Coming to America is real
MeGain and Halfwit actually get along with Andrew and Sarah, and except for one comment that MeGain supposedly made about Andrew following Andrew’s BBC interview, the traitorous two stay mum on the Yorks while trashing the rest of the family. Funny how uber-feminist and women’s rights advocate MeGain has nothing to say about Andrew. She’s a world-class hypocrite.
This is yet another reason why Eugenie is not going to get what Andrew wants. She is not going to be outcast but she is not going to have what Edward and Sophie have or their children. It is interesting that the Rugby player’s family was put right behind Kate and William during that concert. I forsee them having more of a role if they want it.
Right now the Markle buddy is getting assignments because of the Queen. You can’t totally outcast her. She is family but can she really be trusted. Harry is a nightmare. He looked so angry at being relegated to Second Row Harry. And apparently hijacked a car so he didn’t have to ride the bus with the lowcast others and could make an entrance....lololol
That boy of Edwards is very good looking. Must come from Sophie’s family
