Andrew Shouted 'I'm The Queen's Son' As He Was Getting Evicted From Royal Lodge: Insider
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's spectacular fall from grace has reached a new, desperate low. New reports have emerged suggesting a petulant and ‘deluded’ standoff at Royal Lodge, where the former Duke of York allegedly tried to weaponize his birthright to avoid being kicked out of the Grade II-listed property. Once famous for being Queen Elizabeth’s favorite, the former Prince’s relocation to the King’s Sandringham Estate was anything but quiet. Instead, witnesses present at the scene describe his staggering arrogance as he attempted to pull rank on those tasked with his removal.
Speaking to The Sun, an insider suggested that the disgraced royal straightaway refused to vacate his 30-room property. “He refused to leave or take any responsibility,” they highlighted, noting that the 66-year-old was unable to grasp that his royal pedigree no longer grants him immunity. “When he was told to get out, he was so arrogant and deluded he repeatedly shouted, ‘But I’m the Queen’s second son, you can’t do this to me,’” the insider told the outlet. The entitlement on display – particularly after his reputation-shattering scandals – has reportedly left those within the Palace circles stunned.
Despite being stripped of his titles, honors, and public standing, Mountbatten-Windsor appeared to believe that being the son of the late Queen would serve as a shield against the consequences of his actions. “It is extraordinary he chose to use the Queen’s name in his defense,” the source continued, adding, “No one is quite sure if the reality of his dire situation has hit home even yet.” The eviction from his luxurious residence was only the beginning of the former Prince’s mounting legal nightmare. Just a couple of weeks after he relocated to Wood Farm Cottage, he was arrested on February 19 on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
Allegations suggest that he misused his former role as a UK trade envoy to share confidential government reports with Epstein within seconds of receiving them. If convicted of these charges, the man who once lived a life of privilege at Royal Lodge could face life in prison – a dramatic fall for the son of a queen.
While Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently denied any wrongdoing, his brother, King Charles, is making it clear that his time within the royal safety net is over. In a statement following the former Prince’s arrest, the 77-year-old monarch expressed his ‘deepest concern,’ emphasizing that no one is above the law. His statement read, “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.” Highlighting what he said previously, Charles noted, “In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation. Let me state clearly: the law must take its course.”
The image of the former Prince allegedly pointing out his lineage was replaced by a much bleaker one following his release after questioning. After being released by Aylsham Police Station, the disgraced royal appeared ‘terrified’ and startled, cowering in the backseat of a car – an image that activists have hung in the Louvre Museum to show the former Prince "how the world will remember him.”
