Naval ties and pallbearers

Andrew served in the Royal Navy from 1979–2001, including the Falklands conflict, and kept his service medals even after losing military titles. Reports suggest Royal Navy officers could be asked to act as pallbearers; a retired admiral said he might volunteer and defended Andrew’s Falklands record.

Legal battles and public fallout

Andrew stepped back from royal duties in 2019 and lost titles and patronages in 2022. He settled a civil claim that year; that accuser later died by suicide in 2025. King Charles removed Andrew’s royal titles in October 2025 after renewed scrutiny. In February 2026 Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, held about 11 hours and released, with the King urging that the law take its course.
