Nadine Dorries, a former Tory minister, expressed her joy at the announcement and thanked the ex-couple for serving as a role model for how former partners may continue to contribute to one another's life.
Dorries referred to Andrew's appearance as a ‘moment of pride’ for him and Camilla. The couple has managed to retain a positive relationship despite their split and still speaks frequently.
The nickname ‘The Brigadier’ is given to Andrew, a former army officer who served with the Blues and Royals and received a Queen's Commendation for Bravery in Zimbabwe. He has long been associated with the royal family.
