The large purple mark around the former prince’s eye is believed to be the result of a ‘non-serious medical condition’ https://t.co/oHQlgf3tXe

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been photographed with a large bruise across his face.

The disgraced member of the Royal family was seen driving from his home, Marsh Farm in Norfolk, on Thursday afternoon.

A well-placed source insisted the purple bruise that appeared to cover much of his cheek and right eye was not a cause for concern.

The insider said there had been “no drama”, no accident or attack but could not discuss it further because of medical confidentiality.
