Senior members of the royal family were seen with Prince Andrew in Scotland over the weekend.
In photographs taken on Sunday, Kate Middleton, Prince William and Andrew were pictured in a vehicle on their way to Crathie Kirk, a church in Scotland. William was seen driving a car with Andrew in the passenger seat and Kate in the back seat.
In a separate vehicle, King Charles was photographed with Queen Camilla on their way to the same church.
Andrew’s recent appearance with his brother, the King of England, and other senior members of the royal family comes after Andrew’s attempt to keep a low profile as his controversial ties to Jeffrey Epstein are being explored once again.
Andrew was reportedly first spotted at Balmoral Castle on Aug. 22.
Several royal experts claimed in an interview that the disgraced Duke of York accepted an invitation from his brother, King Charles III, to stay at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. Royal expert Ian Pelham Turner previously claimed the 63-year-old drove himself to the estate in Aberdeenshire.
“The royal clans are descending on Balmoral,” Pelham Turner said. “It will be interesting to see how many olive branches grow on royal trees. … It has been said that the kilted and booted King Charles does not wish his sgian-dubh [knife] to be placed in the backs of his family, but [instead prefers] a gentle stroll through the heather to harmoniously solve issues. The jury awaits.”
Turner noted that the king may have extended an olive branch to his scandal-ridden brother following Sarah Ferguson’s health battle. Andrew’s ex-wife, 63, announced in June that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer after a routine mammogram. Turner alleged that the Duchess of York was invited by the king as she continued to recuperate. According to reports, Ferguson’s mastectomy lasted about eight hours.
Andrew has a long history of scandal. In his interview with “Newsnight,” Andrew claimed he met Epstein in 1999 through Ghislaine Maxwell. Andrew said he has known the socialite daughter of press baron Robert Maxwell since her university days. However, a 2001 letter to The Times of London from Alastair Watson, the prince’s former private secretary, suggested Andrew and Epstein knew each other from the early 1990s.
It has also been reported that Andrew and Epstein met at least 10 times in New York, the Virgin Islands and Palm Beach.
