Order of the Garter, Ceremonies and Information 2: 2022 -

[tommy100]

No it isn't. I guess it the wife of one of the Knights of the Garter as I don't recognise her as a family member but I am happy to be proved wrong. Princess Alexandra is a Lady Companion of the Order so wouldn't be standing waiting for the procession with Sophie and Catherine. The Duke of Kent was drive just ahead of the procession in his robes in a State limousine. I guess if Princess Alexandra was attending she would have joined her brother in robes and in a state limousine rather than walking in with the spouses of the Companions of the Garter.

According to the CC Princess Alexandra wasn't in attendance.
This is the entry according to the CC: The King and Queen gave a Luncheon Party for the Companions of the Most Noble Order of the Garter at which The Prince of Wales, The Duke of York, The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, The Princess Royal and Vice-Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and The Duke of Kent were present.

There is no separate list for those who attended the service but we know Andrew didn't (unless there is a way in out of prying eyes, which I believe there is but I can't be 100% sure). Had Alexandra attended either the lunch or the service, even if not seen by the public she would have been listed as Andrew is.

Aren't non-working royals typically omitted from the Court Circular these days? Why is the Duke of York not only listed, but listed before many working royals?

 

[Somebody]

I assume because he attended in his capacity of royal knight of the Garter - and while he often isn’t present, he is still more senior than his younger brother, sister and the queen’s cousins.

I noticed that Catherine skipped luncheon unlike the other spouses.

Didn't Andrew arrive at the Chapel shortly after the Duke of Kent? There was a mysterious Knight of the Garter in a Range Rover, but the cameras didn't show his face clearly.

He may have done but I didn't watch the coverage last night as I was watching Masterchef instead and forgot the Garter was on. At the same time another knight in a Range Rover may have been an older knight like John Major (age 82), the Duke of Abercorn (age 90), Lord Butler of Brockwell (age 87) Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers (age 87). As you said 'Knight' I haven't included the two Ladies over 80 in my list.
