Prince Andrew has been seen in public for the first time since his dramatic decision to step down from official royal duties.
The Duke of York, who quit his life as a working royal on Wednesday evening over his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, was pictured leaving Royal Lodge in Berkshire.
The duke, dressed in a suit and tie, gave a smile and a wave as he drove away from his family home in Windsor Great Park.
In the aftermath of the Queen's second son announcing he would step down from public duties for the "foreseeable future", a US lawyer representing some of Epstein's alleged victims has raised the possibility of questioning the duke under oath over his relationship with the disgraced financier.
Discussing how Andrew could become involved in any legal process, Lisa Bloom said that, as an attorney, she had "the right" to seek a statement from individuals she deemed to have "relevant information".
The duke is to continue working on his flagship project Pitch@Palace but will do so privately without the support of Buckingham Palace.
A Buckingham Palace spokeswoman said on Thursday: "He will continue to work on Pitch but will look at how to do that outside and entirely separate from the palace."
It is thought the duke will not have any involvement with the dozens of charities, organisations and military units he is associated with.
