Some Royal servants who are uncertain how to address Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor<\/a> have reportedly been told to call him ‘Sir’.<\/p>\n

After decades of being served by numerous staff members, Andrew has reportedly been informed he will now have a skeleton team comprising just a chef and a valet.<\/p>\n

This follows his arrest on his 66th birthday<\/a> before being released under investigation, amid allegations he disclosed sensitive information to Epstein whilst serving as the UK’s trade envoy.<\/p>\n

Officers continued their search of Andrew’s former residence, Royal Lodge, in Windsor, Berkshire, throughout Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n

Andrew has denied any wrongdoing regarding his links to the convicted sex offender Epstein.<\/p>\n

Following his younger brother’s arrest, the King issued a statement saying that “the law must take its course” and the police have “our full and wholehearted support and co-operation.”<\/p>\n

The 66 year old is currently staying at Wood Farm whilst awaiting his new permanent residence at nearby Marsh Farm to be refurbished.<\/p>\n

The shamed former Duke of York was compelled to relinquish the lease on his 30-room Royal Lodge mansion in October when he was dramatically stripped of all his royal titles.<\/p>\n

However, in a desperate attempt to stay in his 30-room mansion, Andrew reportedly retorted: “I’m the Queen’s second son, you can’t do this to me,” according to The Sun.<\/p>\n

A source informed The Sun: “He’s lost his HRH, prince and duke titles and so staff, who didn’t know how to correctly address him, have been instructed that he is still to be called ‘Sir’.<\/p>\n

“He will be given his own chef and valet at Marsh Farm which is a step down from the luxury he was previously afforded.”<\/p>\n

At his previous residence at Royal Lodge in Windsor, Andrew had valets, chefs, butlers, housemaids and cleaners – as well as a host of servants when using his former apartment at Buckingham Palace.<\/p>\n

However, at his new home, he has been informed he will be allocated just a cook and a general dogsbody, who are yet to be hired.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Some Royal servants who are uncertain how to address Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor have reportedly been told to call him…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":440816,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,3365,2177,90736,90735,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-440815","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-gb","10":"tag-jeffrey-epstein","11":"tag-prince-andrew","12":"tag-royal-lodge","13":"tag-royal-titles","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom","16":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440815","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=440815"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440815\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/440816"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=440815"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=440815"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=440815"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
