PRINCE Andrew looked miserable on a solo horse ride as the Royal Family arrived to watch VE Day celebrations today.
The Duke of York, 65, appeared glum at his home The Royal Lodge, in Winsor, this morning.
It is the first time he has been spotted this week as he is excluded from the poignant parade to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day.
Experts last week declared the disgraced royal can't do anything in public as the "mere glimpse of him is a story".
PR specialist Mark Borkowski said: "That continual shot of Giselle Maxwell and him in that flat with his arm around her - it will haunt him forever."
It comes after the disgraced Prince's accuser Virginia died by suicide aged 41 last month.
The mother-of-three was sex trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and accused the Duke of York of sexually abusing her when she was 17.
The photo of the Duke with his arm around Virginia was taken in 2001 and went on the be a symbol of her case against the royal.
She sued Prince Andrew in 2021, claiming she was trafficked and forced to have sex with the Duke on three occasions when she was a teen.
It was the first time she had brought action against him after going public with the allegations in 2011.
She alleged she was trafficked and forced to have sex with Andrew for the first time at Maxwell's house in London after a night out at the club Tramp.
Prince Andrew and Virginia settled out of court in 2022.
He has denied all claims against him, and the settlement included a statement in which he expressed regret for his association with Epstein.
It comes as members of the royal family are out in full force at the celebrations, as King Charles has joined Princess Kate, Prince William, and their three kids, at the event.
Princess Anne was also spotted arriving at the ceremony by car, as were Prince Edward and his wife Sophie.
In a playful moment, Prince Louis, 7, was seen having a cheeky dance before helping dad Wills by brushing his jacket clean.

Countless people have lined up along The Mall in order to commemorate the end of the war, with many donning patriotic outfits.
Some were spotted draped in Union Jacks while others wore poppy-inspired clothing.
Troops paraded along Whitehall and The Mall, in front of thousands of spectators, members of the royal family, veterans, and senior officials.
In a touching moment, King Charles was seen saluting cavalry members as they rode by the stage, set out at the Victoria Monument in front of Buckingham Palace.
The King stood tall to pay his respects to the armed forces, with whom the royal family have a deep connection and history with.
Charles and Camilla said previously they had been "looking forward" to this week's events.
The Cenotaph has been draped in a large Union Jack, just as it was 80 years ago when parades flooded the streets across the UK, celebrating the end of the war.
In the windy conditions today, many spectators were seen donning an extra layer, with Prince Louis even grasping a hot water bottle to stay warm.
After the parade of around 1,300 members of the armed forces, the royal family retired to Buckingham Palace, ahead of the flypast later this afternoon.
The royals' appearance today marks the first major event since Prince Harry took part in a bombshell interview with the BBC where he hit out at his dad King Charles and his family.
The Duke of Sussex had said he wanted "reconciliation" with his family, before blaming the loss of his multi-million pound security legal battle on his father.
Commemorations began at midday, with members of the Firm, as well as the prime minister, observing military units in the procession along The Mall from Whitehall.
Honouring those who served during the devastating war, the King and Queen, William and Kate, Edward and Sophie, Anne and Sir Tim Laurence were all in attendance, alongside veterans from the Royal British Legion.
The Royal Family are then also set to make an appearance on the balcony at Buckingham Palace as a flypast of 23 military aircraft, both new and old, takes place at around 1.45pm.
Led by Lancaster bombers from World War Two, the flypast will also feature the iconic Red Arrows.
Sir Keir Starmer will watch on from the gardens of Buckingham Palace alongside the veterans and other senior guests.
The prime minister said this week's events are a reminder that victory was "not just for Britain", as personnel from the US, France and Germany will be among those joining the military procession.
In an open letter to veterans, he said: "VE Day is a chance to acknowledge, again, that our debt to those who achieved it can never fully be repaid."
Following the grand flypast, the King and Queen will host a tea party for veterans and members of the Second World War generation at the palace, starting at around 2pm.
The 30 veterans, and 20 people who lived through the Second World War, will attend the garden party alongside the prime minister, Charles and Camilla.
They will also meet the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, the Princess Royal and Sir Tim Laurence, as well as the Duke of Kent during the reception
Following this, HMS Belfast, which fired some of the opening shots in the D-Day sea battle off Normandy and is now moored on the River Thames near Tower Bridge, will hold VE tea party onboard, hosted by the Imperial War Museum at around 4pm.
The royal family will take part in a number of events over the next four days, leading up to the actual marker of 80 years on Thursday.
