The former Good Morning Britain host slammed Prince Andrew s requestCredit: pixel8000
The Duke of York, who stepped back from public duties over his friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein 18 months ago, was made an honorary Vice-Admiral in the Royal Navy on his 55th birthday in 2015.
He was due to be promoted to Admiral on his 60th birthday last year, but offered to defer the role until he cleared his name and returned to public life.
Her Majesty is expected to make a decision on Andrew s outfit in the next 24 hours.
