Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been seen on horseback for the first time since his exile from Windsor earlier this year.
The 66-year-old former prince broke the cover amid reports that Sarah Ferguson, Andrew’s ex-wife, plans to return to the UK to spend time with their daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Princess, and their children.
Andrew was seen crossing the Sandringham estate. Their departure is said to have lasted approximately an hour.
The horses he has been riding were reportedly sent from Windsor by the King, although they will only be available to him for a limited period.
Andrew apparently doesn’t want to miss an opportunity even for a short period of time, as he’s very bored, so even getting his horse for a few days is better than sitting around doing nothing.
The former Duke of York rode regularly when he lived in Windsor because it gave him the opportunity to get out.
Royal advisers had reportedly imposed a ban on horse riding over fears that the former Duke of York being photographed on horseback would be a “bad look” while he remains under police investigation over allegations he leaked confidential information to pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Since his dismissal, Andrew has resided at Marsh Farm, where he has largely withdrawn from public view.
