Arrogant Andrew’s 11-word rant as he was booted out of Royal Lodge | Royal | News

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor reportedly made a final plea when he was evacuated from his home at Royal Lodge in Sandringham. The former prince was whisked away to his new home at the King’s Sandringham Estate at midnight on February 2.

The former prince made a desperate attempt to stay in his 30-room mansion when he was told to leave. Sun Andrew said: “I’m the Queen’s second son, you can’t do this to me.”

He refused to leave or take any responsibility, as one royal insider claimed: “It is extraordinary that he has chosen to use the Queen’s name in his defence. No one is quite sure yet whether the reality of his dire situation has come to light.”

Another insider admitted talks were tense as the King’s brother made it clear he “didn’t want to leave”

The former prince has left the Royal Lodge and is now living at Wood Farm on the Sandringham Estate, where his permanent home is undergoing renovations.

Buckingham Palace had said the move would take place in early 2026, but the recent drop of the Jeffrey Epstein files has hastened his departure.

Sandringham Manor is the King’s private property and he will be paying for his brother’s new home. It is believed he will eventually live at Marsh Farm on the property.

Sandringham’s historic, sprawling estate covers approximately 31 square miles (80 km2), making it about the same size as Nottingham.

Andrew, who turns 66 on Thursday, has always denied any wrongdoing regarding Epstein. He has not been charged with any crime.

Following his arrest, the King issued an unprecedented statement: “I have learned with deep concern about the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and the suspicions of misconduct in public office. We will now seek a full, fair and appropriate process to ensure that this matter is investigated appropriately and by the relevant authorities.”

“As I have said before on this matter, we have our full and wholehearted support and cooperation.”

Charles did not respond when reporters asked him for further comment as he was attending an event to celebrate the start of London Fashion Week.
