Prince Andrew has been seen looking at horses on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, appearing downcast after reportedly being banned from riding. The former prince was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in a public office, though the exact reason has not been disclosed. Andrew denies any wrongdoing.
The sighting comes after reports that Andrew's aides worry his being seen smiling on horseback while under police investigation is a 'bad look'. The Duke of York has also been told to clear out his former home, the 30-room Royal Lodge, by King Charles, according to the Mirror.
Andrew had lived at the lodge for over 20 years, paying a peppercorn rent after signing a lease worth £7.5 million in 2002. Royal aides have been clearing out remaining possessions, including staff quarters, with skips and removal vans seen on the estate.
A source said: 'Andrew was told everything has to be out and absolutely nothing was to be left behind. He hasn't been back to collect anything.' Palace sources insisted that burning furniture belonged to former staff.
