Prince Andrew has been spotted leading a shoot with close friends at Windsor - despite recent revelations that have come out from previously unsealed documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein.

The royal, 63, was seen enjoying a day of shooting with his pals on the royal estate and was seen leading the hunt. Various photos, taken on Saturday afternoon, showed the Duke of York inside and outside his Range Rover - while one photo has not been published by the Mirror. showed him pointing in the direction of a photographer.

It's just the second time he has been spotted since court documents revealing the names of people associated with the disgraced financier, and who had allegedly visited his island, were released. Andrew is named 67 times in the documents which were part of a 2015 lawsuit filed against Ghislaine Maxwell, who was found guilty of trafficking women and girls for Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse in December 2021.

The previously classified papers have claimed Andrew groped American woman Johanna Sjoberg's’s breast, enjoyed "daily massages" at Epstein's Palm Beach home and took part in an '"underage orgy". The duke has vehemently and repeatedly denied all the allegations made against him.

Before the weekend shoot, the Duke was seen at the wheel of his car driving away from his home Royal Lodge in Windsor last Wednesday. It was the first time he had broken cover since revelations were made public five days earlier on January 4.

There is no suggestion that Andrew, or anyone else named in the court documents, had anything to do with Epstein's crimes or had any knowledge of them. However, Virginia Giuffre is one of dozens of women who sued Epstein and claimed he abused them in his homes in Florida, New York, New Mexico and the US Virgin Islands.

Ms Giuffre claims Epstein pressured her to have sex with multiple men in his high-up social circles, including Andrew. The royal strenuously denied the claims made against him and subsequently settled a civil trial with Giuffre lodged against him in the US.

Last week it was also claimed Andrew had "locked himself away" after he was left reeling by the claims over his links with Epstein. A source told the Mirror the Duke "had no idea how to respond" and had not ventured out since bombshell allegations were made in the newly released Epstein files. They said: "He doesn't have the emotional bandwidth to deal with this. He has locked himself away in a room and has no idea how to respond. He's devastated."
