He did not act as Second Man. That was the Prince of Wales, the most senior royal colonel in action and with both in royal rank as military rank way outshining his younger brother.
The Prince of Wales was the first man that's why the poster called Andrew the 2nd.
 
Court Circular 11th June:
The Duke of York, Chairman of Trustees, the Outward Bound Trust, this morning chaired a Trustees' Meeting at Buckingham Palace.

His Royal Highness, Chairman of Trustees, the Outward Bound Trust, this afternoon held a Lunch at Buckingham Palace for supporters.

The Duke of York, Colonel-in-Chief, The Yorkshire Regiment (14th/15th, 19th and 33rd/76th Foot), later received Lieutenant Colonel Samuel Humphris upon relinquishing his appointment as Commanding Officer 2nd Battalion and Lieutenant Colonel B. Westcott upon assuming the appointment, and Lieutenant Colonel Mark Yates upon relinquishing his appointment as Commanding Officer 4th Battalion and Lieutenant Colonel G. Yates upon assuming the appointment.
 
Andrew is really pushing for him and his daughters to be seen as senior royals. This is the first time I've seen a salute go up for the York princesses. And no Jack present?
It also could have been that the salute was a courtesy as the York princesses' father was a Colonel of a Household division for Trooping this year. Andrew's first on horseback. :D
He had an important role to play in trooping the colour as royal colonel of a household division and this was his first time, so it made total sense that he was given more prominence than a couple that just attended as grandchildren of the monarch. Whether that fitted the media's narrative is their problem. This was the narrative the BRF wanted to tell.
Oh good grief. This nasty attitude toward both Prince Andrew and his daughters is positively infantile. They got the salute because as blood princesses they are entitled to it.

It was hardly surprising that Prince Andrew should stand beside his mother because it was a significant event both for him and his mother and she wanted him front and, centre so to speak, so everyone could see him and how proud she was of him. Instead of sharing HM's obvious happiness there is sniping about him "pushing himself forward" so the newlyweds could not stand there.

HM is quite clear about who she wants where and nobody is going to push their way forward. She encourages those she wants to come forward and expects a certain standard of behaviour on the balcony (as Prince William found to his embarrassment). Had she wanted Harry and Meghan behind her, they would have been there. Instead, this Trooping of the Colour not only marked HM's official birthday but was Andrews debut riding in the parade in his capacity as Colonel of the Grenadier Guards.

In the event, Meghan was really nervous and as Catherine discovered, the size of the crowd is quite intimidating. She was quite happy to stay at the back and, to be honest, she has a lifetime of 'Balcony Events' ahead of her. She and Harry were both happy for Prince Andrew to have his moment in the limelight.

Well said! I wish the Moderators of this board would curtail the York haters. :bang:

It is the first time their father their father has been Colonel of the Grenadier Guards for Trooping of the Color. Only right that he takes the Salute and his family (daughters) join him. I see nothing pushy about it.


Maybe Jack was working, or maybe he isn't going to join in everything, even when he and Eugenie are married.
