Could Andrew be removed from Sandringham? The final lever King Charles could pull
Questions have been raised over Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s continued residence on royal property after a newly released photograph showed him reclining across the laps of several women.
The image, which has been reported to have been taken in the saloon room at Sandringham, the King’s royal estate in Norfolk, shows Mountbatten-Windsor with convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell and several women whose faces have been redacted.
It was among a tranche of photographs and documents released by the US Department of Justice (DoJ) on Friday and adds to scrutiny over Mountbatten-Windsor’s connection to paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein. Mountbatten-Windsor has always denied any wrongdoing.
It comes amid reports that Mountbatten-Windsor has been moved from the Royal Lodge, his former 30-room Windsor mansion, to a farmhouse on the Sandringham estate in need of refurbishment.
With his titles and access already removed by King Charles in recent months, his living arrangements would be the final lever left to pull to create distance from his disgraced brother.
John Burke, a barrister at Legis Chambers in London, said allowing Mountbatten-Windsor to continue to live within the royal estate is the “last thing remaining” that could be cut off.
