Disgraced Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor jetted off to a Dubai billionaire’s luxury French stud farm – after he was banned from horse-riding in Sandringham after his arrest.
The former prince slipped away to Brittany for a plush three-day trip at the property of Mohammed A Baker, a Dubai-based horse breeding magnate.
Andrew was flown out of Britain by the tycoon aboard his private jet, which went from Norwich to Dinard before being taken to the MAB Stables near St Malo.
The trip came after it was revealed that Andrew had been banned from horse riding by Palace aides.

Following his April arrest, the former Duke of York, 66, was told that riding a horse on the King’s Sandringham estate while subject to a police probe would give a “bad look.”
It meant Andrew is now effectively housebound with his seven dogs for company, two of which belonged to his late mother Queen Elizabeth II.
On his 66th birthday in April, Andrew was arrested and released under police investigation for misconduct in a public office after allegedly sharing secrets of official visits with Jeffrey Epstein while acting as trade envoy 2001 and 2011.

A source at the time of his arrest told The Sun: “Since his arrest last week, he has been ordered not to go horse riding. It’s considered a bad look.
“They don’t think he should be seen grinning and smiling on his horse like he was in Windsor. But it was one of the few things he actually enjoyed doing, so what on earth is he going to do with his time?”
It comes less than two months after he was stripped of his gun licence and is said to be given a threadbare staff consisting of a chef and a valet.
