Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was photographed driving near his home on the Sandringham estate on 4 June, a rare public sighting that has sharpened scrutiny of King Charles' embattled younger brother as police inquiries and financial questions swirl around him. The 66-year-old former Duke of York was seen close to Marsh Farm, where he now lives, with a distinct purple mark running from his right temple down towards his cheek.
Andrew has largely vanished from public life, stripped of his military titles and royal patronages and moved out of the spotlight as allegations about his ties to the late convicted sexual offender Jeffrey Epstein continued to stalk him. His exile from front-line royal duties was followed by a highly publicised civil settlement in the United States and, more recently, by formal investigations in the UK into both his conduct in public office and his private dealings.
