In stark contrast to her stern expression last Sunday, the Queen beamed as she was photographed attending service at St Mary the Virgin church close to her country retreat, Sandringham.
Her smile appeared to show relief at her statement Saturday finally settling the Megxit of grandson Prince Harry and actress wife Meghan Markle from the royal family, with them ditching their HRH titles.
Tellingly, she was joined closely by supposed “favorite son” Andrew, 59 — her most public show of support since he was booted from royal duties last November after his disastrous attempts in a BBC interview to justify his close friendship with late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Their unity comes after a former aide claimed the Queen is likely “more angry” at Harry’s Megxit than she is for Andrew’s sex scandal.
Andrew is also still known as “His Royal Highness,” the Evening Standard noted — despite Harry and Meghan both losing their HRH titles as part of the Queen’s deal with them to step away from the family.
Andrew has kept a low-profile recently, especially after his accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre, 36, doubled down in an explosive BBC interview claiming she had sex with the royal three times after being trafficked by Epstein.
The scandal-scarred royal was even missing from the high-profile Christmas Day church service attended by most of the family, walking in quietly to an earlier service before spectators were allowed to gather.
But Sunday, Andrew was right beside his 93-year-old mother as they arrived and then left the service.
He was also photographed smiling broadly as the pair left together in a royal Bentley.
