Prince Andrew broke cover today as he headed for a horse ride in Windsor, a week after a Netflix drama Scoop - abut his disastrous Newsnight interview - aired.

The Duke of York, 64, was accompanied by a groom as he headed for a jaunt near his Royal Lodge home.

Ditching his usual warm coats as the spring air takes the south, the King's brother opted for a maroon jumper,  navy jodhpurs and riding boots.

He added a helmet for extra safety.

Seemingly ignoring any rumblings of royal drama, the eighth-in-line to the throne continued business as normal today.

Prince Andrew broke cover today as he headed for a horse ride in Windsor, a week after a Netflix drama Scoop - abut his disastrous Newsnight interview - aired

It comes a week after Netflix's film, Scoop, was released.

The show centres around his Newsnight interview with Emily Maitlis - something that was widely considered to be disastrous.

The new Netflix film, based on the book by ex-BBC producer Sam McAlister, presents the fateful interview in which Ms Maitlis grilled the Duke on the sex allegations made against him by Mrs Giuffre.

Scoop shows the moment the Queen's son naïvely declared 'that went well didn't it' after the interview and how he joked about meeting paedophile Epstein in New York.

Andrew was pilloried for his TV performance because of a lack of contrition for his friendship with the paedophile and his failure to express sympathy for the dozens of women Epstein trafficked and abused over three decades.

His alibis for not having sex with Virginia Roberts three times, including being in Woking's Pizza Express, have also been widely ridiculed by the public.

The film is set to bring yet another headache to King Charles as continues his battle with cancer. 

It will also bring Andrew's bombshell interview, where he failed to apologise for his friendship with Epstein, to a new audience of millions of people around the world.

Princess Eugenie looked gorgeous in grey this week as she met with the US ambassador to the UK at Winfield House to discuss green fashion.

The daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York wore a Gabriela Hearst Amor Knit Cashmere Silk Dress in Heather Grey and Gianvito Rossi's 105 Pumps.

It's Eugenie's first public appearance since Scoop aired on Netflix. The Gillian Anderson show is a dramatisation of her father's disastrous Newsnight interview.

Joining Eugenie was  the U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Jane Hartley.

Ms Hartley hosted a reception and panel discussion on the fashion industry’s commitment to sustainability at her Regent's Park residence Winfield House.

It's been a tricky start to the year for the royal family.

Prince Andrew's ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, is battling cancer.

His brother King Charles, and nephew's wife Kate Middleton, are all also being treated for cancer.
