But the disgraced Duke of York was seen wearing a fleece and jacket bearing the regiment’s royal cypher as he rode. Insiders say she wears it on purpose and drives near photographers in Windsor. Andrew, 62, flew as a Royal Navy helicopter pilot during the Falklands War and has never served as a guard. Former Grenadiers guard Julian Perreira, who served three tours in Afghanistan, said: “It is completely inappropriate for him to continue to wear the uniform. “He was asked to leave and surrender his title. It continues to tarnish the constitution. “He didn’t serve in the Grenadier Guards, it was just ceremonial, so he has no right to continue wearing the royal cypher. “But no one can officially tell him to stop wearing it and he knows he can get away with it.” A source said: “It’s pretty clear he’s doing it deliberately and stepped it up once he was told he wouldn’t be getting his seat back.” A spokesman for Andrew declined to comment. 2 Andrew with Virginia Roberts, 17, at Ghislaine Maxwell’s London townhouseCredit: Rex Features
