Ex-Prince Andrew seen publicly for first time since arrest for Epstein ties near new home

Former Prince Andrew was photographed in public for the first time since he was arrested in February over his ties to the late Jeffrey Epstein.

Andrew was spotted at Sandringham Estate in Norfolk on Saturday, in pictures obtained by Page Six. Andrew walked his dogs alongside a bodyguard.

He’s currently residing at Sandringham Estate after he was forced to move out of Royal Lodge — a 30-room mansion in Windsor — last month.

Andrew was arrested on Feb. 19 — his 66th birthday — on suspicion of misconduct in public office for allegedly forwarding confidential trade documents to Epstein.

He was photographed looking terrified leaving jail in the backseat of a car later that evening.

If convicted, the former Duke of York could face life in prison.

He’s denied all accusations against him.

Page Six heard earlier this month that his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, is now effectively homeless and camping out with friends after losing their royal home and was having trouble finding a place to stay in New York after the Epstein revelations.

Sources told us that after she and Andrew got booted from their royal home, she’s been staying with friends, including Priscilla Presley.

Andrew and Ferguson’s daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, have also been affected by the scandal. Eugenie stepped away from her role as a patron of Anti-Slavery International after seven years in the wake of her father’s arrest.

Beatrice, 37, and Eugenie, 35, are said to be “horrified” by their father’s public scandal and arrest, Us Weekly reported.

“Eugenie and Beatrice have had to change their upcoming public-facing plans and future plans this year,” a source told the outlet.

According to the source, the sisters “aren’t as worried about Andrew being arrested and going to jail, but they are still horrified that he’s involved in this and worry there could be more to come.”

Meanwhile, King Charles, Prince William and Kate Middleton were recently brutally heckled over their ties to Andrew when they arrived for a service at Westminster Abbey.

But the trio gave no reaction to protesters, making their way into the services without acknowledging them.
