Photos Show Andrew With Large Facial Bruise as Police Inquiry Continues

The visible mark has increased focus on tightened security at his Sandringham home because police are already probing his past conduct.

Overview

  • Photographs published on June 4 show Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor driving near Marsh Farm on the Sandringham estate with a large bruise on the right side of his face.
  • Buckingham Palace declined to comment, saying it cannot discuss the matter while an active police investigation is under way.
  • A source quoted to the press and reporting in The Times say those close to him believe the discoloration has a harmless medical cause, but no official medical explanation has been given.
  • The sighting follows a recent security incident on Sandringham that led to heightened protection at Marsh Farm, including a taller fence, and to Andrew stepping back from public life.
  • The police inquiry began with questions about his role as a trade envoy and has been broadened to examine additional alleged misconduct, a development that could bring further legal and reputational consequences for him.
