A KEY diplomatic reception due to be hosted by the Queen on Wednesday has been postponed.
Buckingham Palace said the Queen had accepted the Foreign Secretary’s advice to delay the event, which had been due to take place at Windsor Castle.
It is understood the postponement is because of the conflict in Ukraine.
In a statement, Buckingham Palace said: “The Queen has accepted the Foreign Secretary’s advice that the diplomatic reception at Windsor on March 2 should be postponed.”
Meanwhile according to a pal of Prince Andrew, the Duke is reportedly “broken” after being ordered to fork over a multi-million pound settlement to Virginia Giuffre.
The source – who served with Prince Andrew during the Falklands War -told the Mirror: “He is down, he is broken. If he wants to dress up once in a while in a naval uniform, then let him.”
“His reputation is in tatters, his public life is over. He is a walking embarrassment.”
