Prince Andrew has been spotted horseriding in Windsor today for the second time since the Queen's funeral amid rumours he faces a grim future for a royal under Charles' rule.
The prince, 62, was seen in riding gear and a blue fleece with a royal crest as he rode near where the Queen was laid to rest following her state funeral earlier this month.
But his enjoyment of the outdoors could be all he has to look forward to after royal experts claim he faces being frozen out of the royal family under his brother's rule, and will be no more than the royal's 'dog walker-in-chief'.
The Queen's second son returned to public life after the death of Elizabeth II earlier this month, after previously stepping back from royal duties after details of his ties to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein emerged.
He was briefly allowed to wear his military uniform as he and his siblings stood vigil next to their mother's coffin as she lay in state in Westminster Hall.
Prince Andrew also greeted mourners at Balmoral shortly after the death of Her Majesty as they gathered outside the castle where the Queen passed away to lay flowers and pay tribute.
But his attempt to rescue his reputation stands little chance of succeeding, according to royal observers.
It comes after King Charles was said to be instrumental in the decision to strip the Prince of all his royal titles in January of this year.

Prince Andrew could even be kicked out of the lavish Windsor mansion where he currently lives with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson
King Charles is widely reported to be planning a slimmed-down monarchy during his reign, which could include a review into the Crown's vast property portfolio covering 500,000-plus acres of land.
This would see little room for Andrew, who could be left simply looking after his late mother's dogs, Candy, Muick and Sandy, the Sun reports.
Andrew and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson will remain at their lavish Windsor mansion in the near future, but fear they could be 'kicked out' amid a shake-up within the Royal Family.
Royal author Phil Dampier previously told MailOnline: 'Prince Andrew will be devastated by the Queen's death because he was always her favourite child.
'Although he was in disgrace because of his involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, he still saw more of her in private than his siblings.
'Living at Royal Lodge just a short distance from Windsor Castle, he would see her on an almost daily basis. He supported her when she was more frail, and was always there for her in person or on the phone whenever she needed him.
'There was an unbreakable bond between them and she must have been devastated when his name was dragged through the mud.
'He only had himself to blame of course and it's difficult to feel sympathy for him, but as a mother she always supported him.'
