Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the brother of King Charles III, has been prohibited from horse riding following his recent legal troubles.
According to Operative Information Center-OMM, citing a report by The Sun, the restriction comes in the wake of significant developments regarding the former Duke's legal standing and public role.
Reports indicate that on February 19, Andrew was arrested on suspicion of abuse of office and his long-standing associations with Jeffrey Epstein. He was released after being held in custody for 12 hours. Following the arrest, police conducted raids on Andrew's residences, including "Wood Farm House" in Norfolk and the "Royal Lodge" in Berkshire.
A source quoted by the newspaper stated that "he has been deprived of horse riding since he was arrested last week." This restriction marks another step in the social and official isolation of the royal family member, who had already been stripped of his royal and ducal titles due to his controversial links with Epstein.
The ongoing scandal surrounding Jeffrey Epstein has had far-reaching consequences for high-profile figures globally. In the United Kingdom, the Royal Family has taken decisive steps to distance the monarchy from the allegations, leading to the removal of Andrew's military affiliations and Royal patronages. These latest developments underscore the continuing legal and reputational scrutiny facing the King's brother as investigations into the Epstein network persist.
