A SHAMELESS Duke of York showed "no signs of disgrace" as he appeared "keen to lead” the pack when the royals headed into church this morning.
Prince Andrew jostled to the side before awkwardly waiting for Fergie as he joined other senior royals for their annual Christmas mass at St Mary Magdalene's Church on the Sandringham Estate.
Snaps showed Prince Andrew hanging awkwardly to one side while the other royals smiled and waved to fans.
He didn't appear to speak to anyone as he stood apart from the others and tried to rush further forward in the line up.
Andrew is allegedly "totally tormented" as his name is "set to appear" in an unsealed document related to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, it has been claimed.
And now body language expert Judi James has claimed he has shown "no sense of humility" while making clear he wants to be considered a senior royal.
Speaking to The Sun, she said: “Signals of re-integration but with no sense of humility from Andrew, just hints of wanting to be in the top tier line-up.
“This outing though will also be remembered for the appearance of not just Andrew but his ex wife Fergie, too.
“There was no attempt to hide in any signals of disgrace from Andrew, who kept looking back to ensure his face was clearly visible in the royal group.
“He and Sarah looked like runners jostling for a place in the line-up though.

"Andrew walked away and to the side of the royals but rather than walking to define any separation he appeared to be keen to position himself up with his younger brother Edward at the head of the group.”
It comes as Virginia Roberts Giuffre, 40, has fought to release a fresh dossier of information on Epstein - and name 177 of his high-profile associates, victims, friends, recruiters and more.
When a batch of court records is published, the Duke of York's name could emerge alongside those of scores of Epstein's rich and famous acquaintances, claims.
Some of these friendships have not been publicly identified.
As the Epstein scandal is set to reignite in the New Year, sources claiming to be close to the disgraced royal said Prince Andrew has allegedly plunged into despair ahead of Christmas.
"Andrew's name is in there," one source allegedly told The Mail on Sunday.
Meanwhile, a firm has set up to manage the prince's investments has secured £210,000 worth of funding from a mystery donor.
