Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor released by police

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has installed a huge white mobile home in the grounds of his new home in Norfolk.

The former Duke of York, 66, received the home on the back of a lorry, where it was placed in his back garden at Marsh Farm in Wolferton on the Sandringham Estate.

The five-bedroom Marsh Farm is a far cry from the 30-room Royal Lodge in Windsor, and it appears that he is having to add the temporary building to create more space. It has been positioned inside a former stable block in a possible attempt to hide it from public view.

Removal vans were also seen beside the new mobile home in Marsh Farm on Monday morning. Andrew is expected to make the move there from Wood Farm cottage in April.

First appearance

It comes after Andrew was seen for the first time over the weekend since his arrest at Wood Farm last month. The disgraced former Prince was seen on a solo dog walk around the farm that lasted for 90 minutes.

It is the first time he has been seen since he was pictured leaving Aylsham Police station after being held in custody for 11 hours on his birthday. Police are continuing to investigate Andrew on suspicion of misconduct in public office during his time as special trade envoy for the United Kingdom.

Andrew also continues to undergo scrutiny after the latest release of documents by the US government in January, which included new revelations about his friendship with the paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing. He also claimed he never met Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide last year, after accusing the former prince of sexual assault.

Moving house preparations

Andrew’s final preparations are underway ahead of his move to Marsh Farm, with removal vans seen carrying his belongings into his five-bedroom property. Items in the boxes included books, paintings and other personal objects labelled as ‘fragile’.

However, some of the boxes featured labels still bearing the ‘HRH’ title (His Royal Highness), despite the fact that Andrew was stripped of his remaining titles last year by King Charles. Written labels on the boxes read: “HRH office”, “HRH sitting room” and “HRH meeting room”.

Last week, a Sky workman was seen drilling from the exterior of the building, wearing a helmet, face mask and earmuffs. Workmen were also spotted fixing grey blinds in the kitchen, and an equestrian fencing van was also seen as the stables take shape out the back of the farmhouse.

In recent months, workmen have installed a six-foot fence around the perimeter, along with CCTV cameras to secure the property and protect Andrew’s privacy. Similarly, the no-fly zone established for the Sandringham Estate was extended to include Marsh Farm. The property was previously unoccupied.
