Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has at last settled into his new residence in Norfolk following his recent Easter disagreement with Prince Edward regarding his temporary lodgings. The disgraced former Duke of York was reported to have been approached by his brother, the Duke of Edinburgh, for a “quiet word” about relocating to his exile home shortly before the Easter break.
Andrew was sent to Norfolk in February after troubling revelations about his association with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein surfaced in the most recent batch of documents released by the US. He’s consistently denied any misconduct.
He had been temporarily residing at Wood Farm while refurbishments at the neighbouring Marsh Farm were being completed.
However, the disgraced royal seemed to be “dragging his heels” regarding the move to his permanent new residence and had a meeting with Edward, who was scheduled to stay at Wood Farm last week but was said to be unable to due to his brother’s continued presence there.
A source told The Sun: “Andrew was evicted from Royal Lodge at Windsor but now has two homes at his disposal. He is just going back and forth between Wood Farm and Marsh Farm. It’s got to be sorted as Edward and Sophie like to use Wood Farm.”
Fresh reports now suggest that the disgraced royal has finally relocated to Marsh Farm and spent his first night there on Easter Monday.
He was photographed walking between the two properties with his dogs.
The Daily Mail said that Andrew’s staff were also spotted arriving at the farm, transporting luggage into the building.
It comes just days after the King’s brother faced demonstrators at his new Norfolk home, in what’s been described as a significant security lapse.
On Maundy Thursday, a group of of demonstrators allegedly scaled the fence at Marsh Farm before being intercepted by security.
Photographs captured by Bav media showed a group managing to approach the farmhouse, where Andrew had been spotted driving earlier and “shouting abuse”.
It follows Andrew being arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office by Thames Valley Police on his 66th birthday in February, before he was later released pending further enquiries.
