Prince Andrew offered a royal fan an odd piece of advice while on the traditional Christmas Day Sandringham walkabout.
In video filmed by a member of the public, the Duke of York is seen walking with fellow Royal family members when he stops to ask a woman: "Cold feet?"
She replies "freezing", to which Andrew responds: "“Did you know the trick is to bring a newspaper? Stand on a newspaper and you insulate your feet.”
The woman says “thank you” before the Queen’s son carries on walking.
The 34-year-old said they didn't think the woman would be trying the advice out any time soon.
The person behind the camera told The Sun : “The whole thing was really odd. Andrew stopped in front of us and blurted out the most bizarre advice about keeping warm."
The video was filmed as the royals walked back from their first Christmas service since the death of the Queen and mingled with the public.
Among those at the service were King Charles, the Queen Consort Camilla, Prince William and Kate, with their three children George, Charlotte and Louis.
Prince Andrew was not expected to join the Royals at church after stepping down from official duties and the Queen stripped him of his military affiliations and patronages earlier this year.
He denied the allegations against him and later came to an out of court settlement, reportedly worth £12million with his accuser Virginia Giuffre.
The settlement is not an admission of guilt and Prince Andrew continues to deny any wrongdoing.
However, the disgraced Duke made a surprise appearance alongside the rest of the Firm on December 25.
According to body language expert Judi James, Andrew looked "very much like the victim of a cull" during the church visit as he walked several paces behind the group.
She said: "Charles had walked with his brother away from the crowds in a gesture of loyalty at Andrew's first church service after the notorious BBC interview, but this time Andrew walked alone, alongside but outside the royal pack.
"His wide eyes and his ashen face made him look wary and haunted.
"His head was held high at times but there appeared to be no one stepping up from the chatty and tactile group of royals to join him or to include him, leaving him walking several paces outside the very upbeat, tactile groups with his hands stuffed into his pockets.
"Andrew might have managed a more inclusive look during the Queen's funeral when appearances were more formal and military but in an informal scenario like this, he was revealed to be more on the outside of the royal pack than inside."
