The Duke of York was photographed behind the wheel of a Range Rover on May 23. The Queen’s second son could be seen smiling widely as he drove in Windsor.
Prince Andrew appeared in high spirits while driving and was spotted wearing a blue buttoned-up shirt.
His appearance comes after it was claimed the Duke will attend Garter Day on June 13 – one of the most prominent royal events of the year.
Andrew’s presence would also be listed in the Court Circular, the registry taking note of all the official events attended by working royals.
A Palace source told the Telegraph Prince Andrew’s inclusion in the royal diary would be “standard practice”.
Indeed, the registry normally only records official events carried out by working members of the Firm.
However, non-senior royals may also appear in the diary if they attend major engagements – such as Trooping the Colour and services of thanksgiving.
