Royal Scandal Erupts: Prince Andrew Throws Expletives at Builders Near Luxury Mansion After Tense Horseback Riding Confrontation
Onlookers say Prince Andrew suddenly stopped his horse, looked angry, and then uttered what they deemed “unroyal” words toward the builders working near the mansion grounds. One witness claimed it was not the first time he had expressed such frustration — and revealed that security cameras captured the entire incident…

While riding his horse around a mile from Royal Lodge, the foul-mouthed prince barked: “What the f* are you doing now?”
One speed bump has even been built on Andrew’s driving route out of his 31-room mansion, forcing him to slow down.
A source said: “The worker was just going about his job when Andrew, on one of his regular rides round the estate, came along and looked down from up high and said, ‘What the f* are you doing now?’
“Andrew likes to drive his car out of Royal Lodge quite fast and is obviously a bit peeved as one of the speed humps is right by the gate out of the park.
His brother King Charles is Ranger of Windsor Great Park, which runs from Windsor Castle to Virginia Water.
The Duke of York’s office was approached for comment.
It is not the only trouble Andrew has caused on the estate.

The Sun revealed in January 2022 that the duke shouted at his female gardener over wrongly cut trees. He left the flunky “shaken and upset”.
She no longer tends the duke’s garden after getting a job elsewhere on the estate.
Meanwhile, in an interview with The Sun, Andrew’s former maid Charlotte Briggs said he swore at her over a pair of heavy curtains.

She claimed he made her run up four flights of stairs to close them while he sat yards away. And when she left a tiny gap in them, he yelled: “Can’t you f*g do anything right?”
In 2016, Andrew rammed closed park gates with his £80,000 Range Rover to avoid a one-mile detour home. He was reported to police but no action was taken.
Andrew has lived at Royal Lodge for more than 20 years despite efforts to evict him after he was stripped of his royal roles over his links to US paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
He later paid millions to settle a civil sexual assault case with Virginia Giuffre, who was trafficked by Epstein as a teenager.
Andrew denied all allegations and claimed he had never met her.
Virginia died aged 41 in Australia in April. Epstein died in a New York jail in 2019.
Andrew, once dubbed “Air Miles Andy” for his love of flying around the world, has left Britain just once since his car-crash Newsnight interview in 2019 — fearing he could be arrested as part of the FBI probe.
Inside Prince Andrew’s ‘crumbling’ Royal Lodge
THE disgraced Duke of York resides at the £30million Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park, Berkshire – at least for now.
King Charles has redoubled his efforts to evict the Duke – with insiders branding the stand-off the “siege of Royal Lodge”.
Despite his divorce from Sarah Ferguson in 1996, Prince Andrew lives with his ex-wife at the countryside estate.
Prince Andrew’s royal residence, with its eye-catching white exterior, boasts 30 rooms with plenty of space for entertaining, plus seven bedrooms spread across the two topmost floors.
The Duke of York is said to spend all day “watching TV in a dark room” like a prisoner at his “crumbling” home.
Royal Lodge is said to “need extensive repairs”, thought to be about £400,000 a year.
The monarch is said to be becoming increasingly frustrated at Andrew’s refusal to care for the colossal mansion.
Andrew is said to have promised King Charles he would take care of its expensive repairs – despite having no apparent source of income.
Earlier this summer US prosecutors revealed they would not be looking to charge anyone else in their investigation into Epstein.
However, there is no statute of limitations for federal sex crimes in the US, meaning allegations against Andrew could be brought again at any time.
Andrew is not thought to have travelled to the US since meeting Epstein in New York in 2010.
In a bid to pressure the disgraced duke to either move out of Royal Lodge or pay his own way, last year King Charles pulled his annual stipend.
But Andrew has managed to avoid being kicked out after scoring a deal with Startupbootcamp to sell off access to his old business contacts.
The deal, first revealed in The Sun, means he pockets vast sums of money for every “introduction” he successfully passes on to the firm from contacts he made through his Pitch@Palace scheme.
He is due to join the rest of the Royal Family at Balmoral this summer for their annual get together.
But he was banned from last year’s Christmas gathering at Sandringham after he was linked to alleged Chinese spy Yang Tengbo.
Andrew is also reeling from a damaging book released this month called Entitled, which painted him as a sex-crazed buffoon.
TWO thirds of Britons believe Andrew should be stripped of his dukedom as well as his princely title, according to a poll.
The figure, 67 per cent, is up five percentage points since 2022.
Only 13 per cent opposed the removal of his titles, the YouGov poll showed.
