‘Protective' Prince Andrew cultivates great skill in granddaughter

Prince Andrew is reportedly teaching beloved granddaughter a special Royal skill.

The Duke of York, who is stripped of his Royal and military patronages, spends his time teaching granddaughter Sienna Mapelli-Mozzi to ride a horse.

Sienna, three, is the daughter of Andrew’s eldest child, Princess Beatrice.

A source told Hello! Magazine: "The girls take the grandchildren to visit him most weekends.

“They are spending far more time with him now than they have done in recent years. 

"They are quite close to their father; they seem to be quite protective towards him." 

This comes as speculation around Andrew remarrying ex-wife Sarah Ferguson after his banishment.

Speaking on GB News this year, Victoria Arbiter commented: "There's long been speculation regarding whether or not Andrew and Fergie will remarry. But their current situation seems to suit them both well so why complicate things?" Andrew and Sarah have known each other since they were children but it wasn't until 1985 that they started dating after being seated together at Royal Ascot that year.

Andrew and Fergie announced their divorce in 1996.
