King Charles will let Andrew Mountbatten Windsor keep his Falklands War campaign medal after veterans’ fury, it has been reported.
Veterans said it would be “morally indefensible” for the King to take away Andrew’s award for his active service.
On Sunday, Defence Secretary John Healey said the King had requested that Andrew’s final military title be removed.
The Defence Secretary would not comment on whether Andrew would be able to keep his medals, including the campaign medal he received for his service in the Falklands War, but said the Ministry of Defence would be “guided by the decisions the King makes”.
But according to The Telegraph, Buckingham Palace has now confirmed that Andrew’s Falklands medal will be retained alongside “all operational service medals”.
