Ex-Prince Andrew is photographed near his home in Sandringham
Ex-Prince Andrew attracted attention after being photographed with a noticeable bruise on the right side of his face. The photos were taken on June 4, 2026, as the former Duke of York drove near Marsh Farm, his residence on the royal family’s Sandringham estate. The visible bruise mark appeared to stretch from his temple toward his eye and cheek. The pictures quickly spread on social media and sparked questions about his health, especially since his public outings have become increasingly rare in recent years.
Sources say the bruise is not considered serious
According to reports from the Daily Mail, a source close to Andrew said the bruise is not a cause for concern and insisted there had been no major incident behind the injury. While the source did not provide a specific reason, medical privacy was cited as the reason for not sharing more details. Additional reports from The Times suggested that the discoloration may be linked to a non-serious medical condition. As a result, there has been no indication that the bruise is connected to any significant health issue.
The former royal remains under public scrutiny
The ex-prince has been living on the Sandringham estate since February 2026 after leaving Royal Lodge in October 2025. His move followed a period that included the loss of his royal titles, which were stripped by King Charles, due to his association with Jeffrey Epstein. In addition, reports have noted that police investigations involving Andrew remain active, although he has denied any wrongdoing.
