This is rather bizarre…
Former Prince Andrew was recently spotted sporting a gigantic, nasty bruise covering nearly half his face.
In the photos, which were obtained by The Sun, the disgraced former British royal also appeared to be quite shaken up and scared.

Here’s a closer look at the photos:
We have no idea how Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, as he is now known, got this bruise.
The photos were taken early Thursday morning as he left his private estate in Norfolk, which he moved to after being kicked out of the royal family.
Just a month ago, Andrew had a frightening encounter with a masked man near the home.
The New York Post has more:
The latest awkward snap of the ousted prince comes about a month after he was threatened by a masked man who barreled toward him while walking the late Queen’s corgis near the eastern England estate.
Alex Jenkinson, 39, was slapped with two counts of using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behavior to harass someone or cause alarm or distress after the alleged incident.
Mountbatten-Windsor, 66, reportedly moved into the exclusive royal retreat, about 100 miles north of London, after he was booted from his longtime home near Windsor Castle due to his alleged relationship with late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
ADVERTISEMENTThe ousted prince was also stripped of his royal titles and honors last year after allegations surfaced that he was one of Epstein’s notorious clients.
This comes as Prince Andrew remains under investigation on suspicion of misconduct in public office, related to his Epstein connection.
An inside source told the Daily Mail that the bruise is likely the result of a medical condition:
However, a source close to Mr Mountbatten-Windsor told the Daily Mail that the bruise is not a ’cause for concern’.
They added that there had been ‘no drama’ but declined to give further details due to medical confidentially.
Doctors told the Mail that patients can get bruises like this if they are on blood thinners, when even very minor knocks can turn into something that looks nasty.
They could also be the result of facial surgery, or if the patient ‘has been punched in the face’.
But they stressed it was impossible to say which of these, if any, is the case with Mr Mountbatten-Windsor.

However, many folks aren’t buying it.
The mysterious bruise is sparking a lot of speculation on social media.
Take a look at some of these theories:

He must have been ready to talk.

That’s a left hook
And the only two members of the Royal Family who are left-handed are Prince William and Duchess SophieJust saying 😂

Epstein didn’t kill himself… and this bruise didn’t appear by magic.
