Stripped of his prince and Duke of York titles, his life is now a far cry from his VIP days dubbed as "Air Miles Andy" or the "Playboy Prince", pictured grinning widely next to various aircraft or walking red carpets in smart suits and pristine military uniforms.
Andrew, banished from public life amid a damaging sexual assault scandal and his friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, now has a much quieter time.
The former prince has even had to move house, giving up his 30-room mansion Royal Lodge, after it emerged last year he had been paying a "peppercorn" rent for decades.
He finally agreed to quit the property in Windsor Great Park, Berkshire, for a new home on the King's private Sandringham estate in the new year, with the King personally funding him with an annual stipend.
Andrew is temporarily living at Wood Farm, while waiting for his new home, Marsh Farm, to be ready nearby.
It was originally a large farmhouse before being converted into two cottages, and over the years was used as a regular informal weekend retreat by the royals - particularly for annual shooting parties.
Andrew has a long association with hunting, and in his infamous Newsnight interview with Emily Maitlis, he denied throwing a birthday party for Ghislaine Maxwell at Sandringham, insisting it was "a straightforward shooting weekend".
An undated photo released by the US Department of Justice last year showed Epstein, Maxwell and the then-Duke of York, holding a shotgun, in shooting gear on a moor, believed to be Balmoral.
But it is a pursuit that has been made more difficult for Andrew after giving up his gun licence.
Andrew was visited by the Metropolitan Police at his Royal Lodge residence in November.
The force would not say why the King's brother had to give up his shotgun licences, but it means he can only use or transport his guns if accompanied.
Riding has been another one of Andrew's pastimes, and he has been photographed riding privately in Windsor Great Park in recent times.
Also known to have a penchant for golf, Andrew could consider looking into the possibility of availing of golf clubs in the area should he wish to venture out in public.
He may have to accept a less-than-warm reception when out and about, though, if a former neighbour's views are reflective of the attitudes around his new home.
A dog walker who lives near Royal Lodge - who wished to be known only as Ben, said: "I think the mood of the nation is behind the fact that he should answer for whatever he's done."
"No one knows what (the royal family) knew or what they didn't know, but I think they've done everything they can to distance themselves.
"They've kicked him out, basically, haven't they? And that's it."
The more solitary life Andrew has found himself living could perhaps have proven to be one of the more profound and difficult aspects of his downfall to accept.
As a helicopter circles overhead and dozens of journalists stand at the gates watching unmarked vans, believed to be police vehicles, come and go, there has been no sign of family rallying round to support the fallen prince.
The whereabouts of Andrew's immediate family, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, and former wife Sarah "Fergie" Ferguson, are unknown.
His place in the line of royal succession is something parliament "is going to have to consider when the time is right", Ed Davey has said.
The Liberal Democrat leader said the monarchy will want to ensure the former prince, who is still eighth in line to the throne despite having lost his title, cannot become king.
An act of parliament would be required to remove Andrew from the line of succession.
