Prince Andrew was pictured today cutting a solo figure while playing golf in the Scottish Highlands as Prince William and the duke's daughter Beatrice attended a garden party at Buckingham Palace.
The Duke of York could be seen wearing a navy jumper with a grey baseball cap on the course at Castle Stuart near Inverness this morning.
Andrew was joined by three other players on the picturesque grounds of the course while four men, dressed in red with white bibs and red caps, caddied for the foursome.
