Prince Andrew has been spotted at Windsor stables for the first time since missing the Royal Family's Christmas celebrations at Sandringham.

The Duke of York, 64, was seen driving his Range Rover from his nearby Royal Lodge residence to the paddock on the Windsor estate.



The appearance marks his first public sighting since his link to an alleged spy led to his absence from both the King and Queen's Christmas gathering and the monarch's festive lunch at Buckingham Palace.

The Duke spent Christmas at Royal Lodge with his former wife, Sarah, Duchess of York, while other family members celebrated elsewhere.

His eldest daughter, Princess Beatrice, and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi opted to spend the festive period in Norfolk.

Princess Eugenie, his youngest daughter, celebrated Christmas with her husband Jack Brooksbank's family.

Andrew, who will turn 65 next month, cut a solitary figure as he drove through the Windsor estate.

For his stable visit, the Duke of York was dressed in a padded navy coat with a matching sweater, dark trousers and a striped helmet.

The appearance follows his November activities at the estate, where he was pictured teaching his granddaughter Sienna horseriding.

Andrew is grandfather to three children, including Eugenie's sons August and Ernest Brooksbank.

The family is anticipating a new addition with Princess Beatrice's second child expected in the coming weeks.

Last week, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice made their first public appearances of 2025 during the same engagement as they joined forces on a video call to celebrate Teenage Cancer Trust fundraisers.
