Prince Andrew surprised royal watchers by turning up to St. George's Chapel on Easter for the second year in a row, arriving with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, sister Princess Anne and Anne's husband, Sir Tim Laurence. The Duke of York didn't travel to Sandringham for the Royal Family's Christmas festivities, but Andrew—who lives at Royal Lodge in Windsor—took the short drive to Windsor Castle for the April 20 church service. Although he didn't greet onlookers outside the chapel, the Duke of York was pictured smiling at the service—and one royal insider says he has a cheerier outlook on life after adopting a new hobby.
According to the Mirror, the Duke of York has taken up a strong interest in gardening at Royal Lodge, which was once home of the late Queen Mother. Although King Charles cut his brother off financially, it was reported in November that Prince Andrew had come up with the money to stay at his crumbling historic home—and to save costs, he's taken on some of the gardening work.
