Exclusive: Former Prince Andrew Turned Fun Bags into Kicks for Kids in Some Very Un-Princely Photos Obtained by TMZ
London, February 20, 2026 – Fresh embarrassment has surfaced for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the man formerly known as Prince Andrew, thanks to a set of resurfaced photographs exclusively obtained by TMZ.
The images, dating back to 2011, show the then-Duke of York on his hands and knees in what appears to be a Windsor residence, playfully rolling a ball back and forth with a young boy. At first glance, the scene looks like innocent fun between an adult and child.
However, the ball in question is no ordinary toy. It’s a novelty item painted to resemble a breast, complete with a pale pink nipple – a design TMZ describes as a “boobie ball,” reportedly inspired by Hooters branding. Andrew is seen kneeling across from the boy on a rug, engaging in the lighthearted game as the child interacts with the unusual object.
The photos have sparked immediate backlash online, with many questioning the appropriateness of the prop in the presence of a child, especially given Andrew’s well-documented past controversies.
The former royal, who lost his HRH title and military affiliations in 2022 amid his association with Jeffrey Epstein, has faced renewed scrutiny in recent days.
TMZ obtained and published the snaps on February 19, 2026, under the cheeky headline framing the incident as turning “fun bags into kicks for kids.” Representatives for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor have not yet commented on the release of the images.
The photos serve as a reminder of the former prince’s ongoing efforts to stay out of the spotlight – efforts that continue to be undermined by old and new revelations alike.
