Prince Andrew Banned from Horseback Riding - The Reason

Prince Andrew has been banned from horseback riding following his arrest as a suspect for inappropriate behavior. Palace officials reportedly warned him that publicly appearing to ride would create a negative impression, given the ongoing police investigation. Prince Andrew was arrested last week and questioned for 11 hours regarding allegations that he shared confidential information with Jeffrey Epstein while acting as a trade envoy for the United Kingdom. The ban on horseback riding is another blow to the prince, who is known for his love of the sport. At the same time, the UK government is set to release files regarding Prince Andrew's appointment as a trade envoy. The case is under investigation, and the ban on horseback riding appears to be an attempt to avoid further negative publicity.
