    Disgraced and never-sweaty Prince Andrew has returned to the Royal fold, more than a year after being kicked from it because of sexual allegations.

    Prince Andrew became the Royal Family's most shameful member after his relationship with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

    He then went on to face his own allegations after he was sued by Virginia Guiffre who accused him of sexual abuse – he denied all claims and has since settled out of court for an unknown sum.

    And now it appears that he has returned to the Royal fold.

    The Prince was spotted in a car alongside Prince William and Kate Middleton yesterday as the trio went to church.

    The were then spotted on the return journey going back to the Royal estate in Balmoral, Scotland.

    He was seen in the front of a Land Rover Defender being driven by the Prince of Wales, while the Princess was seen sitting in the back for the tip to church.

    The disgraced former Duke of York was then seen driving the trio back tot he estate.

    This, Royal expert Ingrid Seward claimed, is a sign of unity towards the Prince to show that he's “still part of The Firm”.

    She said: “Andrew’s public life is over but his family are showing he’s still part of The Firm and supporting him emotionally.

    “They knew he would be photographed with William and Kate and were sending out a clear signal.

    “It’s what The Queen would have expected and represents a big show of family unity.”

    The news of support comes days after it emerged that he lost his £3million-per-year armed protection as a result of the financial settlement to Giuffre.

    He tried to get it back via then-Home Secretary Priti Patel, but a leak shows that while she was supportive, it was not something that could happen.

    This ended up with Patel apologising to King Charles after emailing his private secretary Sir Clive Alderton to ask him to review the issue.

    Ingrid Seward said: "The King will be deeply embarrassed by this — the issue is so controversial he won't go anywhere near it.

    “Ms Patel should have known he has no power over these decisions.

    “Her meddling was deeply unwise and deeply unfair on The King — and will damage Andrew's cause, not help it.”
