Overview
- Reporting says Andrew flew on a private jet organised and paid for by Emirati businessman Mohammad A. Baker and stayed at Baker’s MAB Stables on 30 May–1 June.
- A local gallop trainer, Arthur Desprez, told reporters Andrew was a guest in Baker’s house and an unnamed farm worker said he was accompanied by a bodyguard.
- Photographs published after the trip showed Andrew with a noticeable facial bruise on 4 June, though the cause of the mark has not been confirmed.
- Andrew remains under investigation after his arrest on 19 February 2026 on suspicion of misconduct in public office; he has not been charged and the probe is ongoing.
- The episode has renewed criticism of his long-standing relationships with wealthy foreign figures, raised questions about bail or travel conditions and put pressure on decisions about his security and public standing.
