UPDATE: Former Prince Andrew’s recent public appearance riding a royal horse on the Windsor estate has sparked immediate concern within royal circles. Observed on Wednesday morning, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, no longer holding the title of Duke of York, has raised eyebrows with this sighting, deemed “not a good look” for King Charles.
Sources reveal that Andrew’s public ride has the potential to “rile his neighbors,” specifically the Prince and Princess of Wales, who reside nearby. This marked Andrew’s first horseback outing on royal grounds in approximately seven weeks, intensifying scrutiny over his continued presence at Royal Lodge despite stepping back from royal duties.
Royal insiders indicate that King Charles is “not pleased” with Andrew’s visibility at the estate, especially as it is “funded by the taxpayer.” The situation is reportedly causing tension within the royal family, with the Prince and Princess of Wales expressing their desire to distance themselves from Andrew, who they feel should not be a part of their lives.
The timing of Andrew’s appearance raises further questions about his future on the estate, as discussions regarding his relocation have been ongoing with both King Charles and Prince William. Despite losing his titles, Andrew’s use of royal facilities continues to be a contentious issue, stirring discontent among royal family members.
As the situation develops, it remains to be seen how King Charles will address this public outing and the implications it may have for royal family dynamics. The royal family’s response could have significant repercussions for Andrew’s future at Windsor.
Stay tuned for more updates as this story unfolds.
