The Duke of York has deferred his promotion to Admiral on his 60th birthday after stepping back from royal duties
February 07, 2020 - 10:37 GMT Danielle Stacey The Duke of York has turned down a military promotion after stepping back from public duties last November. Prince Andrew was due to be promoted to Admiral on his 60th birthday on 19 February, in line with a longstanding policy that sees senior royals treated as serving military members.
Andrew, who left the Royal Navy in 2001 to become a full-time working royal, was promoted to Rear Admiral on his 50th birthday in 2010. Five years later on his 55th birthday, he accepted the rank of Vice Admiral.
