Prince Andrew appeared in high spirits this morning as he was pictured riding a horse around the Windsor estate.
The Duke of York, 64, was dressed in a khaki jacket, red jumper, black trousers and a helmet for the excursion.
The royal appeared deep in conversation with a young woman, who was wearing a Windsor Castle-branded coat and helmet.
The father-of-two - who attended the Easter Sunday Service at St George's Chapel with his siblings and ex-wife yesterday - is bracing himself for the release of the new Netflix film Scoop.
The drama - starring Gillian Anderson, Billie Piper and Rufus Sewell - delve into the royal's car-crash Newsnight interview regarding his relationship to paedophile Jeffery Epstein.

The new Netflix film will re-hash what is widely considered the most disastrous interview in royal history, where Emily Maitlis grilled the Duke on the sex allegations made against him by Mrs Giuffre.
The film will be released on Friday and is set to bring yet another headache to King Charles as continues his battle with cancer.
It will also bring Andrew's bombshell interview, where he failed to apologise for his friendship with Epstein, to a new audience of millions of people around the world.
Scoop will show the moment the Queen's son naïvely declared 'that went well didn't it' after the interview and how he joked about meeting Epstein in New York.
The King and his son Prince William were said at the time to be instrumental in the Queen's decision to strip him of all military titles and patronage, however, as seen today, the Duke has most recently been welcomed back into the royal spotlight.
Yesterday's event proved to onlookers that the Duke of York is well and truly back in the royal fold and will no longer shy away from the public limelight at a time where fewer senior royals are on hand.
It marks an extraordinary turn around just two years after his late mother Queen Elizabeth banned him from royal duties and stripped him of his HRH as well as military titles.
The extraordinary move came after Andrew settled a sexual assault case filed against him by Virginia Giuffre - a sex slave victim of Andrew's close friend Epstein.

Royal biographer and investigative journalist Tom Bower believes Scoop should remind the King that he must stop any attempt by his brother to get back to public life.
He said: 'To save the Royal Family from more horrendous damage, King Charles will finally need to order Prince Andrew to permanently stay out of public view. Senior officials also need to tell Andrew the truth.
'He is a serious liability and cannot be trusted or rescued. Unless King Charles firmly grasps this nettle it can only get worse'.
The Duke's appearance yesterday - which would have been unheard of two years ago - comes just weeks after the Duke walked the Royal Family into Windsor Castle for a service of thanksgiving for the late King Constantine of Greece.
King Charles had been unable to attend the event as he continues to battle with cancer while Prince William had to duck out of the service last minute for 'personal reasons'.
It was later revealed that the heir had suddenly dropped out of the service as Kate had started her course of preventative chemotherapy, described as a 'recovery pathway'.
Queen Camilla took the reins at the event but arrived separately leading Queen Elizabeth's second born son to step forward and lead the more minor royals - such as Princess Anne, her daughter Zara and husband Mike Tindall - into the service.
And in another incredible turn of events, his ex-wife was once again by his side as they marched into St George's Chapel followed by their daughter Beatrice.

Biographer and royal expert Phil Dampier told MailOnline earlier this month that Andrew had seized his chance and still clearly hopes he can make a full comeback, with Fergie close behind.
He said: 'We have been reminded of the fragility of the situation and Andrew will probably be encouraged to think he can one day make some sort of comeback, although it’s not likely for at least a year or two, if ever'.
Andrew's appearance at the late Greek monarch's memorial marked the first time he had been seen at a public event since the Christmas Day service at Sandringham.
It came almost two years to the day that his settlement with Ms Giuffre was disclosed - estimated to be worth around £12million ($16.3million).
The move spared him having to give evidence under oath at any trial in the US and there were claims that the Queen helped him pay for it.
