Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor photographed with huge bruise on his face

  • Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was photographed with a large purple bruise across his right eye and cheek while driving from Sandringham Estate.
  • The discolouration – which can be seen in the article below – is reportedly the result of a non-serious medical condition, though the exact cause has not been specified.
  • The director of public prosecutions indicated that investigations into Mr Mountbatten-Windsor, including allegations of misconduct in public office, could take over a year to conclude due to their complexity and international aspects.
  • A National Audit Office review found that Mr Mountbatten-Windsor sublet three properties on the Royal Lodge estate, despite paying a 'peppercorn rent' for the main residence, drawing criticism from Labour MP Rachael Maskell.
  • This sighting follows a security scare last month where he was allegedly confronted by a balaclava-clad man, leading to reports that he sought the reinstatement of his taxpayer-funded security, which King Charles had withdrawn in 2024.
