AceShowbiz - During a morning ride through the Windsor Estate on Monday, the Duke of York's black mare became agitated, tossing its head and thrashing around. Prince Andrew, 64, clung tightly to the reins as he struggled to maintain his balance and avoid being thrown off.

After a tense few minutes, Andrew managed to calm the animal and stabilize himself. Despite the incident, he continued his ride.

This incident comes at a time when Andrew is locked in a feud with his brother, King Charles, over his residence at Royal Lodge, a lavish $38 million property on the Windsor Estate. Charles has reportedly told Andrew to leave the lodge and move to a more modest residence, such as Frogmore Cottage.

Andrew, who has been largely out of the public eye since stepping down from royal duties in 2019, has since secured enough funds from an unidentified source to remain at Royal Lodge. The King is said to be frustrated with his brother's reluctance to downsize and has cut off his "£1 million-a-year" allowance.

Amidst this financial turmoil, the near-fall from his horse is a reminder of Andrew's ongoing challenges. As a skilled equestrian, his ability to regain control of the mare demonstrates his resilience and horsemanship.

However, the incident also underscores the complexities of Andrew's current situation as he navigates a feud with his brother and questions about his financial status.
