What we know so far

A man has been arrested after confronting Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor while he was walking his dogs late last night. The suspect, who was clad in a balaclava, reportedly jumped out of a car and began shouting before being subdued by the former prince’s guards.

The vehicle was searched for potential weapons, and the man was detained for a public order offence and for possessing an offensive weapon. Sources indicate that the royal is ‘deeply shaken’ by the incident.

Following the disturbance, Andrew has recently moved from the 30-room Windsor’s Royal Lodge estate to a more modest cottage at Wood Farm on the Sandringham estate. His relocation comes after further Epstein files resurfaced featuring his name and images linked to the late financier.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor continues to deny any wrongdoing and lived at Royal Lodge virtually rent-free for over 20 years, primarily with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.

A man has been arrested after approaching and confronting Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor as he walked his dogs late last night.

Clad in a balaclava, the unnamed man is said to have jumped out of a car and began shouting before he was tackled by the disgraced former Prince’s guards.

The suspect’s car was searched for any potential weapons, and he was detained on a public order offence and for possessing an offensive weapon. The royal is reportedly ‘deeply shaken’.

Former Prince Andrew moved out of the 30-room Windsor’s Royal Lodge estate last month, and into the more modest cottage in Sandringham.

The disgraced former duke will be living at Wood Farm on the royal estate until his permanent home is renovated.

Andrew moved out of Windsor after further Epstein files contained his name and more images in connection with the late paedophile financier.

The former royal has continued to deny any wrongdoing. He had been living at Royal Lodge virtually rent-free for more than 20 years, most of it with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.

One photo included in the Epstein files appeared to show Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor grinning with his eyes closed as he lies across the laps of five women, as sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell looks down at them and smiles.

The photo is thought to have been taken in the saloon room at Sandringham, Queen Elizabeth II’s beloved residence in Norfolk.

According to royal biographer Robert Johson, Andrew hosted a party for paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein and his girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell at the estate in 2000, ‘apparently for her thirty-ninth birthday’.

Writing in ‘The Windsor Legacy’, Johson claimed: ‘Staff were stunned to discover the bathrooms were stocked not only with toiletries, but poppers, lube, and condoms.’

Johnson cited a ‘royal source’ for the claim of the unusual supplies left in bathrooms, including poppers which are drugs inhaled to enhance sex.

All of the women whose laps Andrew appeared to lie on have had their faces blocked out to protect their identities, as is the case for many of the images released from the Epstein Files.
