A look back at the life of the Duke of York ? Royal Central

QuoteBirth and Childhood

Prince Andrew Albert Christian Edward was born on 19 February 1960, the second son and third child of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. He was the first child born to a reigning monarch since Princess Beatrice, the youngest child of Queen Victoria, was born over a century earlier.

Prince Andrew was born in the Belgian Suite at Buckingham Palace and was raised there with his older siblings, Prince Charles and Princess Anne. A fourth child, Prince Edward, was born in 1964.

Prince Andrew was educated by a governess at Buckingham Palace and then went to Heatherdown School in Berkshire. He continued the family tradition of attending Gordonstoun (both his father and older brother attended the school as well). He graduated in 1979 with A-levels in English, history, economics and political science, but he did not attend university. Prince Andrew decided to take the more ?royal? route and took up a life of military service.

Prince Andrew goes horse-riding at Windsor | Daily Mail Online

QuoteA love of riding runs in the family, so it's no wonder Prince Andrew decided to celebrate his 58th birthday with a spot of horse riding in the grounds of Windsor Castle.

The Duke was spotted on horseback with a flame-haired companion, taking in the afternoon sunshine as they trotted along at a leisurely pace.

Andrew wrapped up against the cold in a blue and navy jacket, while his companion also looked sporty in a navy fleece and jeans.
