Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been stripped of his royal titles and ousted from his royal home, and now the troubles continue for the disgraced brother of King Charles. He was forced to up the protection around his new home, Marsh Farm, after an intruder reportedly threatened him, and now a new explosive biography about Andrew is set to hit the shelves. 

Royal writer Andrew Lownie is releasing the paperback version of his book, Entitled, about the former prince, now with updated material. Andrew's current living situation is addressed and it is revealed that the 66-year-old has a skeleton staff at his new property.

"Andrew now had to rely on just a housekeeper, a cook and general aide, alongside a team of police protection officers. His only other company were two corgis that had once belonged to the late Queen and several Norfolk terriers," Lownie pens. 

It is not known how many employees Andrew would have had at Royal Lodge, but given the fact that it is a 30-room property with 98 acres of land, it would likely be an extensive list.

For nearly two decades, Andrew occupied the 30-room Royal Lodge in Windsor on a long-term lease, paying just a "peppercorn" rent. He famously continued to share the residence with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, even after their divorce. After months of pressure from the public, Andrew finally left the property. Following his high-profile eviction by King Charles III in early 2026, he relocated to the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk where he initially stayed at Wood Farm until his permanent residence was ready. The former royal has had new carpets installed, along with a few fences and CCTV. Plus, the stables on site have been transformed for his horses. 

Andrew's security breach 

Last week, Andrew's security team faced an incident where a man, who was brandishing an offensive weapon and reportedly "threatened" and "chased" Andrew on the Sandringham Estate. 

At the time, a spokesperson from Norfolk Police told HELLO!: "Officers were called to Wolferton shortly after 7.30pm yesterday (Wednesday 6 May 2026) following a report a man was behaving in an intimidating manner in the village.

"Officers attended, and the man was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence and possession of an offensive weapon. He was taken to King’s Lynn Police Investigation Centre for questioning and remains in custody."

The 39-year-old, who has since been named as Alex Jenkinson, has denied wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty to charges of using threatening, abusive or insulting words. According to the Independent, Andrew is going to give evidence via a videolink at the trial which will be held 29 July.
