Prince Andrew has been seen with a large purple bruise on the right side of his face while driving near his Sandringham home, Marsh Farm, on Thursday. The 66-year-old royal was photographed behind the wheel, sparking concern among onlookers.
A royal insider told the Daily Mail that the bruise is not a 'cause for concern' and that there was 'no drama' surrounding the incident. However, they declined to provide further details, citing medical confidentiality.
The sighting comes after a security incident last month, when the Duke of York was approached unexpectedly while walking the late Queen's corgis near the Sandringham estate. It remains unclear how he obtained the facial mark.
Prince Andrew was arrested in February on his 66th birthday and questioned on suspicion of misconduct in public office. He was released under investigation after more than 12 hours in police custody. He has denied any wrongdoing.
Following scandals related to his association with Jeffrey Epstein, King Charles ordered Andrew to vacate Royal Lodge. He now resides at Marsh Farm, a cottage on the King's Norfolk estate. Recent reports from the National Audit Office revealed Andrew received undisclosed private income from subletting properties on his former Royal Lodge estate while paying a peppercorn rent.
