Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor ‘spotted in south of France with 2 women’ after ‘Balmoral snub’ The former Duke of York was reportedly spotted in the South of France this summer.

It also follows the suggestions that the former Duke “rejected” King Charles’s offer to visit the Balmoral Estate in Scotland this summer, along with other members of the Royal Family. “He feels like he is no longer part of the family,” a source told The Sun.

“He was invited but has secured no great desire to be at Balmoral as he has nothing to gain and would be treated as an outcast. What’s the point, he feels, of going all the way there for a much-needed holiday and being treated as an elephant in the room?”

At the time of his younger brother’s arrest, His Majesty said in an official note: “I have learned with the deepest concern the news concerning Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office.

“What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities. As I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted backing and co-operation, in this.
