King Charles may still have a small soft spot for his younger brother Prince Andrew – now known simply as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor since losing his royal titles. But we think even he will be a little bit annoyed that he isn’t keeping his head down amid all the scandal surrounding him right now.

Recently obtained pap pictures (check them out here) show the disgraced royal smiling while riding his horse on the Windsor estate – the first time in seven weeks he has done so, may we add – which royal insiders and critics fear doesn’t look great. Keep reading for more info…

Prince Andrew Spotted Horseback Riding On The Windsor Estate

Andrew has in fact stayed out of the public eye since announcing that he and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson will give up their Duke and Duchess of York titles, and since King Charles stripped him of his Prince Andrew title. Until a few days ago…

On November 17th, Andrew was papped riding his horse on Windsor grounds alongside a female companion, which just so happened to be near where Prince William and Kate Middleton now reside with their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis since moving from Adelaide Cottage earlier this year.

King Charles 'Won't Be Happy' With The Pictures

As per the Daily Mail, a palace source claimed that the pap pics of Andrew using palace facilities are "not a good look" given everything that has happened.

"It's really not a good look. The King won't be happy that his brother has been photographed riding in the grounds of Windsor Castle, which after all is funded by the taxpayer," the royal source told the pub. They went on to say that although King Charles may feel sorry for his younger brother, perhaps Andrew should remain out of sight.

"I gather Andrew and Fergie are both feeling the strain. Their family and friends are worried about their mental health and the King does feel he has a duty of care to his brother. He's been holed up at Royal Lodge for weeks," the insider added.

Prince William And Kate Middleton Can't Wait For Prince Andrew To Leave Windsor

Two people who may not be so sympathetic are the Prince and Princess of Wales, who reportedly aren't thrilled he's still in such close proximity to them. They seemingly can't wait for him to move from Royal Lodge to Sandringham which, if insiders are to be believed, may take a few months at the very least!

"That move to Sandringham can't come soon enough to get him away from Windsor," the insider declared.
