Though King Charles III kicked Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor out of Royal Lodge,
the former Duke of York was seen riding horses on the Windsor estate.
"It's really not a good look," a royal source told
Daily Mail. "The King won't be happy that his brother has been photographed riding in the grounds of Windsor Castle, which after all is funded by the taxpayer."

"That move to Sandringham can't come soon enough to get him away from Windsor," the source continued.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor resigned from his duties after his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein became public. Aside from being close to the convicted abuser, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre accused the ex-royal of assault, which bubbled up after her posthumous memoir was released. Now, Mountbatten-Windsor and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, are dealing with the consequences of their ties to the controversial financier.
"I gather Andrew and Fergie are both feeling the strain. Their family and friends are worried about their mental health, and the King does feel he has a duty of care to his brother. He's been holed up at Royal Lodge for weeks," the source said.

Virginia Giuffre's family celebrated the news of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor being stripped of his titles.
"Today, an ordinary American girl from an ordinary American family, brought down a British prince with her truth and extraordinary courage," the relatives said in a statement.
