British king’s brother banned from horse riding

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the brother of Britain’s king, has been ordered to stop riding, The Sun reports.

Royal aides fear the former duke of York being seen grinning on horseback is a “bad look” while under police investigation for allegedly leaking secrets to Jeffrey Epstein.

The former prince, 66, is now effectively housebound with just his dogs for company.

The former prince was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office and questioned for almost 12 hours amid accusations he shared confidential information with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. He is the first member of the Royal family in modern history to be detained.
