Prince Andrew enjoyed a ride around Windsor Great Park grounds, joined by a groom who regularly accompanied the disgraced duke.
It follows reports that the 21 acres of garden surrounding his royal residency are in a “shocking state” as the King’s brother attempts to maintain the land.
The Duke of York, 64, appeared pensive as he braved the cold in a navy riding jacket and thick gloves.
He also donned a pair of matching blue jodhpurs and riding boots, completing his ensemble.
Andrew wore his usual riding helmet, which features a reflective stripe.
Prince Andrew has failed to maintain the £30million property and its estate, according to insiders who claim Royal Lodge is surrounded by shrubbery and woodland.
A Historic Royal Palaces gardener has revealed that the royal estate is in a “shocking state” and “impossible” to clean up now.
Todd Longstaffe Gowan said: “I won’t be knocking that into shape.
He added: “It is impossible.”
“I’ve been at Kensington Palace for 30 years and I think Royal Lodge would be quite impossible.”
The reported decline of the historic residency comes after Prince Andrew’s £1million annual allowance, which he has relied on since stepping back as a working royal in 2019, was cut by King Charles.
The Duke of York was stripped of royal duties and lost his right to automatic taxpayer-funded security following public backlash from his infamous Newsnight interview, where he discussed his friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffery Epstein.
The brother of King Charles has maintained his residency at Royal Lodge despite the monarch’s attempts to force him to downsize.
The King suggested Frogmore Cottage, the former residency of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, as a suitable arrangement for Andre and his former wife, Sarah Ferguson.
Despite the efforts, the disgraced duke and Fergie continue to reside in the property.
