Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor reportedly erupted into an explosive rant as he was booted out of Royal Lodge and transported to Wood Farm in Sandringham.
The disgraced ex-prince was forced to leave his 30-room Windsor mansion earlier this month following orders from his brother, King Charles, over his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
However, it’s understood Andrew, 66, did not leave Royal Lodge without a fight and continues to refuse to “take any responsibility” for his alleged behaviour.
According to an insider, the former Duke of York was so reluctant to leave his home of two decades that he repeatedly yelled: “I’m the Queen’s second son, you can’t do this to me.”
“He refused to leave or take any responsibility,” a royal source told The Sun of the “deluded” ex-prince.
“It is extraordinary he chose to use the Queen’s name in his defence,” the insider continued.
“No one is quite sure if the reality of his dire situation has hit home even yet.”
Andrew, who was frequently described as Queen Elizabeth’s favourite son, was evicted from Royal Lodge in the middle of the night on February 2.
He then secretly moved into Wood Farm, where he is expected to stay until renovations are complete on nearby Marsh Farm in April.
After just over two weeks at his new residence, Andrew was arrested on the morning of his 66th birthday and taken to Aylsham police station on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
Andrew is accused of sharing confidential information with Jeffrey Epstein during his time as a UK trade envoy.
He allegedly forwarded reports of visits to Singapore, Hong Kong, and Vietnam to the late paedophile, as well as details of investment opportunities in Afghanistan.
After 12 hours in police custody, Andrew was released without charge and returned to Wood Farm.
He remains under investigation, and searches at Royal Lodge are continuing.
King Charles issued an unprecedented statement shortly after his brother’s arrest, sharing his “deepest concern” and confirming police had his “wholehearted support and co-operation” in their investigations.
“I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office,” the King began his statement.
“What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities.
“In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation.”
Continuing his extraordinary message, the monarch made it clear exactly where he stands with Andrew.
“Let me state clearly: the law must take its course,” he said.
“As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all. Charles R.”
Andrew has continuously denied any wrongdoing.
