UK barrister and broadcaster Andrew Eborn discusses Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s absence from the Order of the Garter. “Don’t we love it, the noble Order of the Garter, one of the most glorious events of the royal calendar,” Mr Eborn told Sky News Digital Presenter Gabriella Power. “The former prince Andrew, now Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, was completely absent. This is the first time since he’s been stripped of his membership. “He’s no longer a member of the order, and it’s logical that he’s not attending any element of the day. Andrew is now living a fairly sad life in Norfolk.”
