The Duke of York was spotted leaving Prince Philip’s funeral at Windsor Castle in a green Bentley Flying Spur. Prince Andrew had the car resprayed British racing green and issued with his personalised plate, according to The Sun. Royal commentator Richard Eden explained it is Andrew’s personal car while questions emerge as to why he bought it.

Speaking to Palace Confidential on MailPlus, Mr Eden: “Andrew does still have security.”

Commentator Sarah Vine added: “Plus, of course, a brand new Bentley.

“Why has he got a brand new Bentley? Why does he need one?

“He also had it repainted green.

“He doesn’t do anything anymore so why does he need a new car?”

Mr Eden noted: “I think it’s his personal car.”

Ms Vine interjected: “If he didn’t have a new car, maybe he would spend more money on security.”

The Duke of York cut a solitary figure at his father’s funeral as he made his first official royal appearance since stepping back from his duties in 2019.

Prince Andrew: Royal expert discusses plans

Most of the other royals sat in their family groups dotted at a safe social distance throughout St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.

Although Andrew’s two daughters were present, he sat apart from them in accordance with Covid-19 guidelines as they do not share a household.

He was however seated closest to the Queen, who also sat alone throughout the ceremony.

Andrew has often been described as her favourite son.

At one point, an emotional-looking duke could be seen pulling his mask down with his eyes cast downwards.

Andrew moved to follow immediately behind his mother as she left the chapel at the conclusion of the service.

He did drop back however, to allow his brother the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall to go ahead of him.

As the family left the chapel and made their way up the hill towards the royal apartments, Andrew could be seen walking close to his eldest daughter Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.
