The Prince of Wales has replaced his brother, the Duke of York, as royal patron of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra as the latter’s roles are gradually redistributed.
The orchestra’s board announced in November 2019 that it had decided to part company with Prince Andrew with immediate effect after he was forced to effectively resign from public duties in the wake of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

Following the sad death of Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, we have been looking through our archives. He was a regular competitor at the Lowther Horse Trials, near Penrith but also visited the county on many other occasions. Back in 1958 he represented the Queen when she was taken ill en route to visit Carlisle as part of its octo-centenary celebrations and then came back with her later the same year. The Duke visited Spadeadam, on the Northumberland border in 1965 to see the progress on the Blue Streak rocket project. He made several visits to the county in 1976 including a hectic visit to Lairthwaite School, Keswick when he met local dignitaries including Charles Crane, chief executive of Allerdale Borough Council and Mr S Crawford, the school’s headteacher as well as many pupils.
The Duke of Edinburgh staged an extraordinary boardroom coup to save a charity founded by his former headmaster at Gordonstoun, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
Having learned that The Outward Bound Trust was on the brink of going bust, he arrived unexpectedly at an emergency board meeting in Oxford.
Furious at the prospect of a charity of which he was patron being wound up, Prince Philip removed the chairman and took on the role himself.
He then sacked the chief executive and many of the trustees before telling the stunned meeting: ‘Our mission is clear. We must proceed with rescuing this tremendous organisation.’
