The Duke of York's appearance outside the chapel was the first time he has been seen with senior members of the family, including the King, for some time after he was at the heart of a scandal involving his friendship with a suspected Chinese spy last year.

While Andrew, 65, is - who has denied being a spy - the scandal definitely worsened his already fragile public image. As a result, he did not join the royals for Christmas, making his latest Easter appearance all the more surprising.

While Andrew, who was accompanied by ex wife, , looked nervous in front of the cameras, he did make one move that showed the duke making a "forceful reminder", as explained by a royal expert.

Robert Hardman that the Duke stepped behind the King and Queen Camilla in the possession inside the chapel, which he thought was interesting.

He wrote: "As soon as the King and Queen had entered the chapel, the Duke of York then stepped immediately behind them in the procession, almost overtaking the man in charge, the Dean of Windsor, the Rt Rev Christopher Cocksworth.

"Here was a forceful reminder that, in this company at least, the Duke was first in the line of succession."

As well as Andrew being present at the Easter service, his daughters and also attended the service, along with their husbands. The service was also including Princess Anne, Duchess Sophie and Prince Edward.

Prince William and Princess Kate, along with their three children, did not attend the Sunday service and in Norfolk.

It is believed that they had the King's permission to miss the church service in Windsor and celebrate Easter privately instead.
