Shamed ex-Prince Andrew seen playing with boob ball with baby boy in sordid snaps

Bizarre newly surfaced photos appear to show Prince Andrew playing with an infant using a toy shaped like a woman’s breast.

The images, reportedly taken in 2011, show Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor — then still a senior royal and Duke of York — on all fours at his Windsor home, playing with an unidentified young boy. The photos were obtained by TMZ and published shortly after Andrew’s arrest Thursday. What initially seems like an innocent play moment takes an odd turn when the toy is revealed to resemble a breast, complete with a protruding faux nipple.

In one photo, the child bends to pick up the object, with the nipple facing toward him. The images surfaced hours after Andrew was released following roughly 11 hours in custody after his dramatic arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Authorities allege he shared confidential documents with his now-deceased associate Jeffrey Epstein.

The photos date to a period before Andrew — younger brother of King Charles III — was stripped of royal duties and patronages over his ties to Epstein and Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell. The disgraced royal has faced multiple investigations over the years.

Andrew, who turned 66 on Thursday, was detained after newly released Epstein-related files suggested he had passed confidential trade documents to Epstein during his tenure as a UK trade envoy. He was arrested at the Sandringham estate, where he has been living.

Police moved in suddenly on Sandringham Estate with a large contingent of officers. According to Thames Valley Police, the royal household received no advance notice; the UK Home Office was alerted roughly 30 minutes before the operation.

Investigators searched both Sandringham and Royal Lodge — Andrew’s former residence of two decades — while he remained in custody. Searches at Royal Lodge continued Friday, with officers erecting a large black forensic tent expected to remain in place through Monday, according to BBC News. Police said the current inquiry is not directly connected to Epstein’s sex-trafficking network.

Andrew has long denied allegations by Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, who said she was coerced into sexual encounters with him on multiple occasions beginning when she was 17. Andrew stated in 2019 that he had no memory of meeting her, though in 2022 the two reached a civil settlement.

Andrew’s arrest marks the first detention of a British royal since Charles I was seized by parliamentary forces in 1647. Despite losing his royal titles last year, Andrew remains eighth in line to the throne; removal would require an Act of Parliament.
