Ex‑Prince Andrew is back under public scrutiny after new photographs showed a prominent bruise on his face during a rare appearance. The images quickly prompted questions about the former Duke of York's condition, with social media users offering a range of theories before reports pointed to a medical explanation.
The outing comes as Andrew remains largely out of public view following his withdrawal from royal duties and amid ongoing attention to his personal affairs. While speculation spread online, sources close to the duke have insisted there is no dramatic story behind the visible mark on his face.
