Andrew sparks fresh speculation after sighting with two women

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor was reportedly spotted on the French Riviera with two women, which has sparked speculations that the former Duke of York could be considering a move away from Britain.

As reported by Radar Online that Andrew was seen around Cannes and Nice wearing a red baseball cap. Royal author Andrew Lownie claimed the former prince was accompanied by two women in their forties, one blonde and one red-haired.

Notably, the identities of the women have not been revealed. An insider told the outlet, "Andrew's world in Britain has become considerably smaller, so the suggestion that he is spending time in southern France and potentially looking at property there will inevitably fuel speculation about his future."

"He has lost his royal status and his former Windsor home, and France could offer the privacy and distance he may feel he needs," they added.

Meanwhile, Lownie wrote on Substack that the former Prince has not been stuck forlornly in Marsh Farm over the summer. He retains his passport and regularly travels abroad with the knowledge of the King."

"Andrew has been in the South of France, where he was spotted in a red baseball cap, white trousers, Timberland shoes and Ray-Ban glasses, and accompanied by two forty-something women – one blonde and the other with red hair. It is said he is looking for a property in the region," the royal author added.

Furthermore, another source told the outlet that if Andrew Mountbatten Windsor is looking for a property there, "it would represent another significant step away from his former royal existence."

"The Riviera offers sunshine, discretion and considerable wealth, and he could potentially live far more anonymously there than anywhere associated with the Royal Family."

Adding that due to Andrew's sighting with two women "People will naturally want to know who they were and why they were traveling with him, but there is absolutely nothing at this stage to suggest either relationship was romantic."

"What is interesting is the picture it paints of Andrew's life away from Britain. The public perception might be that he has been sitting isolated at Marsh Farm following everything that has happened, whereas these reports suggest he is still traveling internationally and enjoying the company of friends and acquaintances.

"Being spotted around Cannes and Nice with two women while apparently exploring the possibility of buying a property there inevitably makes the story more intriguing," they added, noting that the brother of King Charles may already have "a social circle of connection the region."

"For somebody whose position within the Royal Family has collapsed so spectacularly, the image of him on the Riviera in sunglasses, accompanied by two women and reportedly considering property there is certainly a striking contrast with his much more isolated existence back home," a tipster pointed out.
