Prince Andrew, also known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, appeared relaxed during a horse ride on the Windsor Home Park estate, even as fresh details from Jeffrey Epstein’s files continue to emerge. The 65-year-old royal was observed on Saturday accompanied by a female companion, dressed in black riding boots, gloves, a helmet, and a khaki overcoat while traversing the grounds.
Recent Sighting Coincides with Epstein Revelations
The outing occurs against a backdrop of escalating scrutiny from newly released documents tied to Epstein, the convicted sex offender. British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer stated that Andrew should prepare to testify before the US Congress regarding his connections to Epstein, following the latest disclosures in the case.
Among the materials is a previously unpublished photograph showing Andrew leaning over a woman lying on the floor, with his hand on her abdomen. The image lacks any caption, and its location and date remain unknown. These elements form part of over three million documents released by the US Department of Justice, which include photographs and email exchanges seemingly involving Andrew and his former wife, Sarah Ferguson.
Details from the Epstein Documents
The files contain emails from individuals identified as “Sarah” and “The Duke,” with addresses redacted. Epstein refers to Andrew’s ex-wife as “Fergie” in some communications. Additional screenshots and scans reveal exchanges between Andrew and Epstein, including discussions about a “beautiful” Russian woman and an invitation for Epstein to visit Buckingham Palace in August 2010. Epstein turned down the invitation. This interaction took place two years after Epstein’s 2008 guilty plea for soliciting a minor for prostitution.
Upcoming Relocation to Sandringham
The horse ride precedes Andrew’s planned relocation to private accommodations at Sandringham. In November, it was announced that King Charles intends to move his brother from Royal Lodge in Windsor to a property there. The initial deadline for the move was January 25, but recent updates indicate an extension to February 19, coinciding with Andrew’s 66th birthday.
Recent images depict a large white van positioned at the entrance of the 30-room Royal Lodge, signaling ongoing preparations. Renovation work is underway at Marsh Farm in Sandringham, the site expected to become Andrew’s new residence.
