What is with members of the British royal family and their mysterious head trauma and facial bruises? In March 2024, Princess Anne’s husband Tim Laurence turned up at an event with a suspicious-looking black eye – his right eye. Then in June 2024, Princess Anne had some kind of traumatic head injury at her home, Gatcombe Park. We heard that she was kicked in the head by a horse. Even after being hospitalized for a full week and suffering memory loss, they still made her work with bruises still visible on her face. Well, two years later, and the degenerate formerly known as Prince Andrew was seen driving around Norfolk with huge, angry-looking bruises all around his left eye.

This is insane. While I know Andrew is a pathetic figure, I don’t think he’d go as far as applying bruise makeup and/or purposefully falling face-first into a door for sympathy. Something happened and it was bad.
Soon after these photos were published and everyone was like “WTF,” sources were quickly sent out to minimize whatever this is. A source told the Daily Mail that the bruise is “not a cause for concern” and that there is “no drama” unfolding. The Mail raised the possibility that Andrew could be on blood thinners, and while it’s true blood thinners increase the likelihood of bruising, something pretty major happened to Andrew’s face.

If you took a punch to the right eye — as both Tim & Andrew have done — it would logically have been landed by someone who favours his left arm / hand. Hmmmmm …. And who has a well documented history of physically attacking members of the family? Hmmmmmm.
I hope he got his arse kicked
Camilla finally had enough booze and ran out of patience
Did William beat him up? Based on all the stories, it seems Will has problems controlling his rage.
Exactly what I was going to say lol. Another one William is very close to possibly.
Right before the wedding.
Funny how that was my first thought also..
I think William is left-handed. Because my first thought upon seeing these photos is that a lefty punched him in the face. Oh well, too bad so sad, however it happened.
I see him and all I think of is Virginia and her heartache and the other girls he abused and assaulted. He can rot on earth and later in Hell.
You need to read the comments on insta 😂 he tried to dress himself for the first time or William is left handed 🤚😂😂😂
In the top picture he looks exactly like his mother
This happened despite having a royal protection officer?
RPO’s don’t protect them from their own family members. I would guess they’re not in the same spaces — in private — when family are present.
he could have tripped and hit the side of his face, it might just look bad because his skin bruises easily and hard be likely on blood thinners and he’s a bit older.
My mom fell getting out of bed and it looked bad.
This is my pet theory: he fell while high or drunk, and the RF can’t admit it because they don’t want to reveal he has a substance abuse problem.
Yes, that happened to my mother, too
Meanwhile, Virginia is still dead.
This is all that needs to be said.
Why you gotta make me root for Prince William?
🤣😂😅
Week over, I’m done. (Thanks for the giggle, Chaine!)
We need a like button this is great!
Well. If he is on blood thinners and had even a minor mishap, the bruising would look like he had a catastrophic injury and take ages to fully heal. Odd how everyone who would be queen/queen consort has either had a direct catastrophic injury (Anne), been smeared to hell and back by the rota (B, Eugenie, Meghan) or has a family member/spouse (E, B, An̈ne) who looks like they have been subjected to physical ab#se… England has always thrived under Queens compared to Kings and the current heir is grossly inept. It would be interesting to be a fly on the wall and see what is happening behind the scenes. Has Willy been told he is replaceable and been acting out?
Probably just had a fall.
The first thing I thought when I saw the images last night was that William had (again!) punched his uncle.
After reading this article, I think that it is also likely that one of his horses head butted him, on purpose or not (a quick swivel of the head while backing away would do it) – unless a member of the public punched him and they’re hushing it up. If #1, then I wonder what he did to piss William off: threaten to out some of William’s skeletons if he didn’t leave his daughters alone?
A nasty horse riding accident would be convenient and draw a line under matters that RF don’t want discussed so I suspect AMW needs to remember what happened to the 2nd son in Godfather 2 after momma died!
Whatever happened to him, not an ounce of sympathy.
He probably got drunk and fell over. I’m sure he gets drunk most nights to celebrate his freedom.
Don’t know and don’t care what happened. But is there a line I can get in to get in on the action?
Sometimes good things happen to bad people.
And whatever happened here, I’m glad of it.
Interesting the idea that it was William that did it. or Andrew fell while under the influence.
most people’s protective mechanisms kick in if it’s a trip-and-fall or similar accidental event-the hands go up to protect the face. usually a black eye is the result of something else.
I’m trying to imagine the very specific way you’d have to fall to bruise your eye like that …
