He has only himself to blame for the birthday being "sorrowful."

QuoteOn this day in 1960, Prince Andrew was born at Buckingham Palace, the first child born to a reigning monarch for 103 years.

Happy Birthday to The Duke of York.

Yes, they did ring for Andrew's birthday. Apparently a lot of his friends said 'Thanks but No Thanks' to his celebratory birthday dinner and none of his siblings are turning up to it either. The Wessexes are  off skiing.

I doubt too many people besides his family are wishing Andrew a happy birthday. Still, there are compensations as a Royal for the pedophile's friend. Nobody is screaming in the media for his titles to be removed and he retains his Honorary military patronages, including the Colonelcy of one of the most prestigious regiments in the British army.

Andrew isn't half in-half out of the RF which the Sussexes were accused of wanting. He's completely out and most of his charities dropped him.

However, in the Queen's gift remember....

QuoteFollowing Andrew's scandal and in consultation with Buckingham Palace, the Queen and Prince of Wales are now the only members of the Royal Family who will have their birthdays marked by official flags and bells. 

A spokeswoman for Westminster Abbey said: 'Due to the financial challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, Westminster Abbey will ring its bells only for the birthdays of HM The Queen and HRH The Prince of Wales.'

Thirty seven years ago today, Prince Andrew married Miss Sarah Ferguson. While they're now divorced, they continue to have a close relationship as Sarah resides with him at Royal Lodge Windsor.

Sarah Ferguson has an interest in Queen Victoria. She named her daughter Beatrice after Victoria's daughter Princess Beatrice.   
Did you know that Sarah and Prince Andrew married on the same date in July (July 23rd) as did Queen Victoria's daughter Princess Beatrice and her husband Prince Henry of Battenberg did?

And Eugenie was named after Queen Victoria?s lifelong friend, the Empress Eugenie of France. Beatrice may have been a possibility as a bride for the Prince Imperial if he hadn?t been killed. The two were apparently close. However, years later she met Henry. Henry Battenberg was extremely good looking and Beatrice fell head over heels, much to her mother?s annoyance. She was penciled in for spinsterhood and looking after Mama in her old age. Fortunately after a long battle between mother and daughter,  Victoria gave in and Beatrice and Henry were allowed to wed. He, Fritz, Vicky?s husband, and Louis who was Alice?s husband then widower, became as dear to her as her own sons.

I've never understood this mindset. Victoria had the means to hire a "companion" instead of requiring a daughter to be one for the rest of her life.

Yes, exactly! But, whether widows had the financial means or not, that sort of mindset was quite common in the Victorian Age, especially if there were a number of daughters. It was all part of the ethos of age being venerated, and younger people being expected to give way and cater to their parents? wishes, whatever their own inclinations. And to be honest, I think that a number of other mothers in the nation would have considered it ?odd? that the Queen would be ?forced? to use outside help when she had several daughters to be companions.

At least she allowed Beatrice to marry in the end, though there were several conditions placed on her, such as the couple always living with the Queen, and Beatrice acting as her mother?s secretary, literary executor and the like. The person everyone seemed to be sorry for in royal circles was Victoria, the middle daughter of Edward and Alexandra, who really did act as her mother?s factotum as she became older and deafer. Friends and relatives would arrange little respite holidays for Victoria, but in the end she was stuck really, until after her mother?s death, when she herself was well into middle age.
