Locals at Sandringham Welcome Ex-Prince Andrew In The Most Brutal Way Possible
‘Public safety announcements’ have appeared all over Sandringham days after Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor quietly relocated to the King’s Norfolk estate. Locals made their hostility very clear after his move. One notice was posted directly on the ‘Welcome to Sandringham’ board with the label ‘public safety announcement’ with the photo of the disgraced royal and the phrase “Sweaty n---- in the area. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (previously: Prince Andrew).” The message also referenced his association with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, describing the former as a “close friend of notorious p--------, Jeffrey Epstein. Enthusiastic participant in his s-- trafficking network. Paid millions to try and silence survivors.” While the former royal has continuously denied the allegations, police haven’t started an investigation into the claims, and nothing has been proven against him.

According to The Mirror, the poster was part of a video circulating on X (formerly Twitter). The campaign group Everyone Hates Elon revealed that the incident was a direct response to Mountbatten-Windsor’s abrupt move to Sandringham, earlier than expected. The caption of the footage said, “After the latest epstein file release, Prince andrew was forced into a smaller property at sandringham. Don't worry, he's getting the welcome he deserves.” The snippet had an unrecognized local putting up the notice and was very telling of the anger simmering in the area amidst the residents as the demoted royal moved there.
There was minimal fanfare involved in Andrew’s relocation. It happened in the middle of the night after being asked to vacate Royal Lodge earlier this week. He shall be staying at Wood Farm Cottage temporarily before moving permanently to Marsh Farm once it is done with its extensive renovations. Even after trying his best to avoid attention, his presence in Sandringham instantly invited media scrutiny as a group of journalists swarmed in, causing a disruption. The locals described the area as a quiet village otherwise.
Frustration among the neighbours continues to grow following the commotion. A localite also spoke candidly about the impact. She told the reporters, “I think if he has to come and live here, it should be somewhere that's quite secluded." "There are houses that belong to the King that he could go to that wouldn't cause anybody any bother. The press are all down there. The villagers don't like that. It's a quiet village." While suggesting an alternative, she felt the former duke might be better housed “out in the woods,” where he is “surrounded by trees and no other houses.” She stressed that his current place of living was “too close to the road.”
Some other visitors and locals closeby Sandringham Visitor Center expressed a similar stance, with unabashed reactions. The 83-year-old Abaham Bruin quipped, “I'm a little bit flabbergasted myself. If he's an outcast and living on the estate, he's not an outcast, is he?” Later, an anonymous woman questioned, “Really, he's going back to luxury, isn't he? He's being waited on hand and foot.” Another woman revealed that she was “not particularly keen on him,” as criticism surrounding Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrival continues to intensify.
