Early December in the year 2000 and members of a shooting party gather for a photograph in front of the Queen’s hunting lodge on her Sandringham Estate. The eye is drawn to the familiar figure in blue at the centre of this previously unpublished image. It is none other than Prince Andrew, who looks rather glum despite having every reason to feel carefree. Perhaps he’s had a premonition of what’s coming down the line.
Overall, though far from universally popular, the Duke of York’s life is unclouded at this time and he remains within the bosom of the Royal Family.
