Prince Andrew has seemingly confined himself to avoid spotlight as his reputation has taken a hit due to scandals.
The Duke of York's sexual assault allegations and his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein has made him unwelcome at certain events.
Andrew has become a "recluse" and barely goes out, according to royal expert Jennie Bond.
He reportedly spends most of his time at Windsor property, riding horses, playing golf, or watching live coverage of planes landing and taking off.
The disgraced royal appears to have pulled back from family celebrations. Notably, he's absent Sarah Ferguson's emotional tribute to Princess Beatrice on her 37th birthday.
Andrew's absence from significant events suggests as he has been advised by loved ones to maintain a lower profile during these sensitive times.
Fergie has been secretly mediating between Andrew and King Charles to resolve their differences over the Royal Lodge dispute.
According to royal expert Mark Boardman, Fergie is likely advocating for him behind the scenes.
Ferguson, the Duchess of York, has indeed been a pillar of support for her family, particularly her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. Despite her divorce from Prince Andrew, Fergie has maintained a close relationship with her children and continues to be involved in their lives.
On Princess Beatrice's 37th birthday, Fergie shared a heartfelt tribute. Her emotional post highlights the special bond between daughter and mother in absence of Prince Andrew.
