Former Prince Andrew was recently photographed near his home with what appeared to be a large bruise on his face. The bruise was large enough to be captured from a car window. A source said the bruise was "no cause for concern" but declined to provide any further details.
Former Prince Andrew spotted with mystery bruise.
Prince Andrew, the former Duke of York, was photographed in his car near his home, Marsh Farm, on the royal family's Sandringham estate. The king's brother had a large purple mark running from his right temple to his eye and down his cheek. The mark was deep enough to be captured from the car window.
A source close to the former Duke of York commented on this. Speaking to the Daily Mail, the insider stated that the bruise is "no cause for concern" and "not related to any issues." However, he declined to reveal anything else about the mark.
So, it remains unclear how the former Prince Andrew, who now goes by the name Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor after being stripped of his royal titles last year, acquired this bruise. But the topic is being actively discussed on online forums.
In October 2025, King Charles stripped Prince Andrew of his titles after his ties to the late Jeffrey Epstein came under renewed scrutiny following the publication of the Epstein Affair. Andrew had been repeatedly photographed with the convicted sex offender and had also been accused of serious crimes.
Following the release of the documents, the late Queen Elizabeth's second son was arrested at his home in February on suspicion of abuse of office. He was accused of passing confidential information to the late Jeffrey Epstein while serving as the UK's trade envoy. He was released after 11 hours in custody.
According to the latest information released in May, Thames Valley Police are continuing their investigation into Andrew's case.
