Prince Andrew breaks cover after King Charles surprise decision

Prince Andrew made his first appearance as the Duke of York headed out for his early morning horse ride around Royal Lodge on Saturday.

Prince Andrew returned to horseback for the first time after Princess Eugenie and Beatrice doting father narrowly avoided an embarrassing tumble after his horse was spooked during another morning ride through the Windsor estate recently.

According to a report by the Daily Mail, Andrew appeared in a cheerful mood as he headed out for his early morning ride.

It is also Prince Andrew’s first appearance after King Charles offered him an olive branch despite “losing patience.”

The insider told the Mirror, despite the ongoing row over Royal Lodge, Andrew is expected to attend the Royal Family celebration.

The outlet reported King Charles has extended an olive branch to Prince Andrew by inviting him to his big Christmas get-together next month.

Per the outlet, Andrew will join the Royal Family members for Christmas, including Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their children, along with the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh's family.

King Charles decision to invite Prince Andrew may come as a surprise to some, given the bitter feud the brothers have been locked in over the Royal Lodge — the property Andrew currently resides in.
