Several outlets report that former Prince Andrew (Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor), 66, is seen near his home at the Sandringham estate with a facial bruise that is described as still visible or healing. The photos circulate ahead of the annual Trooping the Colour, a major public event marking the King’s official birthday. The Mirror and the Daily Mail both say Andrew is photographed or spotted close to Sandringham in the hours before the working royals gather for the ceremony, describing the bruise as lingering in earlier images and looking improved in later ones. The Times similarly references Andrew being seen leaving Sandringham with an “alarmingly bruised” face. None of the reports provide a confirmed explanation for how the bruise occurred. The coverage frames Andrew’s sightings as occurring while other members of the Royal Family prepare to take part in Trooping the Colour.
