Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is STILL calling himself HRH regardless of being stripped of his titles in Epstein shame as his boxed belongings arrive at Sandringham residence
Disgraced Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is still clinging to his royal styling – with removal boxes stamped ‘HRH’ delivered to his new home on the Sandringham estate today, despite being stripped of the title in the wake of the Epstein scandal.
Hundreds of boxes arrived at five-bedroom Marsh Farm in Norfolk – many clearly labelled ‘HRH office’, ‘HRH sitting room’ and even ‘HRH meeting room’, suggesting the former duke continues to use the honorific behind closed doors.
The haul, transported by royal-approved removals firm Gander & White, included clothes, antiques and books – some marked fragile – as the shamed royal completes his forced relocation.
Among the items spotted was a copy of My Life on Mars by Colin Pillinger, detailing the ill-fated Beagle 2 mission.
The delivery came via two large vans on Friday morning, following the arrival of four lorries earlier in the week, as workmen raced to finish renovations at the secluded property.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is currently holed up nearby at Wood Farm, where he has kept out of sight since returning from a police station following his arrest on February 19.
He is staying at nearby Wood Farm after his arrest last month over the Epstein files and claims of misconduct in public office when he was a UK trade envoy.

The move to Marsh Farm follows his eviction from Royal Lodge in Windsor by his brother, Charles, with the Norfolk bolthole hastily upgraded in recent days.
Security fencing, CCTV, broadband and Sky TV have all been installed, alongside new flooring, carpets and extensive decorating, with further work carried out on the grounds.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor faces explosive allegations that he shared sensitive information with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein during his time as special representative for international trade and investment.
He is now effectively confined indoors under orders from the King, with sources claiming his daily routine has shrunk to little more than tea and Abernethy biscuits each morning.
Until the tumultuous events of the past few weeks days, Andrew, 66, was alleged to have been contemplating fleeing to either Bahrain or Abu Dhabi where he could still expect the warmest of welcomes and enjoy hugely lucrative financial connections.

And the Daily Mail was told exclusively by a royal source that his early morning arrest last month came following an urgent tip-off to a senior courtier that ‘Andrew was getting his passport ready for a midnight flit’ and might be about to hoof it to the Middle East on a private jet, most likely to Bahrain which does not have a formal extradition treaty with the UK.
But with bombs and missiles falling across the region daily, any lingering hopes of reinventing himself among the Arab elite appear to have gone up in multiple puffs of smoke.
The US-Israel war against Iran also looks set to affect the movements of his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson and their daughters, Beatrice, 37, and Eugenie, 35, who have all built connections in the region.
‘This is a huge blow to all of them,’ a close family friend told the Daily Mail. ‘There is no way any of them are going to go to the Gulf and Middle East region for a long time to come. It is far too dangerous for them, just as it is for everybody else.’
