Prince Andrew 'linked to palace uproar' over Prince Philip's funeral
As the British royal family prepare to lay Prince Philip to rest, an uproar involving Prince Andrew has reportedly broken out behind palace doors.
There are claims the Duke of York is demanding he be allowed to wear the military uniform of an Admiral to his father's funeral, the Daily Mail UK reports.
Andrew stepped back from his public duties as a senior royal in 2019 over his friendship with disgraced financier Jeffery Epstein.

Despite the Epstein scandal, the Queen is yet to strip Prince Andrew of his military honours.
In 2015, Andrew was made an honorary Vice-Admiral in the Royal Navy. He was reportedly set to be elevated to Admiral on his 60th birthday last year. However, he offered to wait until he cleared his name and returned to public life.
The Queen is set to make a decision over her son's request in the next day.
The Prince of Wales, Prince Charles, his younger brother, Prince Edward and their sister Princess Anne are all said to be donning military dress at the funeral.
Prince William is also said to be dressing in military garb.

However, it is yet to be known whether his brother, Prince Harry, will follow suit.
The Duke of Sussex was stripped of his military titles after quitting royal life to move with his wife, Meghan Markle, to the US.
In line with royal rules, Harry is likely to be only allowed to wear a morning suit with medals, the media outlet said.
Buckingham Palace has declined to comment on the matter.

Prince Philip passed away on Friday, aged 99.
"We're all feeling a great sense of loss," Andrew told reporters following his father's passing.
"The Queen, as you could expect, is an incredibly stoic person and she described his passing as a miracle, and she is contemplating is the way I would put it."

The Duke of York made the comments after attending a service for his late father at The Royal Chapel of All Saints in Windsor along with Prince Edward and Sophie, the Countess of Wessex and their daughter Lady Louise Windsor.
It was the first time Prince Andrew has spoken publicly since stepping out of the public spotlight.
