Andrew Mountbatten Windsor signals he is 'looking ahead' with key gesture

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor is spotted in high spirits today, says an expert.

The former Prince, who was spotted on a horse near Windsor Castle in Berkshire today, donned a rather ‘jovial’ smile.

Speaking about his expressions, expert Judi James notes: "For anyone wondering if Andrew was in a sustained state of the kind of downcast body language he offered on his last public outing, where he was seen looking slumped and dejected on his horse as his companion gazed at him with what appeared to be a look of concern, these photos suggest he has rallied, sporting a hint of a jolly, smug-looking smile one minute and hailing a motorist with an authoritative and confident-looking wave the next.

The expert also tells the Mirror: "His smile sees the corners of his mouth hiked up here, when they were pulled down on the last outing. He's also looking ahead rather than at the ground and his expression, with his chin pulled into his neck, gives the appearance of being far more jovial.”

"The wave, with his lips clamped and his hand held high, makes him look happy to take control and much more confident than he did before,” notes Ms James.
