Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor scandal: Ex-prince makes outrageous demands in latest move to Marsh Farm

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has made outrageous demands ahead of his move to Marsh Farm following the exile his brother King Charles II imposed upon him.

The disgraced former prince has been the source of untold public outrage in recent years over his connection to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

He was finally stripped of his princely title on October 30 following fresh accusations in prominent Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir.

The ex-duke was booted from the Royal Lodge in early February and cast out to Wood Farm, part of the Sandringham Estate, ahead of a final move to Marsh Farm.

After a trove of Epstein files were released, Mr Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on his 66th birthday on suspicion of misconduct in public office, in relation to accusations that he shared sensitive information with Epstein while he was trade envoy.

As preparations for the move to Marsh Farm continue, it seems the former prince does not intend to go quietly.

The Mirror reported that three moving vans were spotted pulling up outside Marsh Farm, each potentially teeming with luxe goods from Mr Mountbatten-Windsor’s past life at Windsor.

His old 30-room home was decked out with several pieces from the Royal Collection Trust alongside other valuable items part of the royal family’s private collection.

When Mr Mountbatten-Windsor was stripped of his titles, it was understood those pieces were to be returned to the Trust.

It seems despite this that the former prince is having plenty of artwork transported to Marsh Farm.

Andrew’s teddy bear demand

Alongside this, he demanded that his extensive teddy bear collection be packed up before the move.

Charlotte Briggs, a former maid who worked for the royal family in the 90s, said the ex-duke had 72 bears in total, which he insisted were lined up in size order, and at least some of which had to be arranged in a certain way on his bed.

“As soon as I got the job, I was told about the teddies, and it was drilled into me how he wanted them. I even had a day’s training. Everything had to be just right. It was so peculiar,” she told The Sun.

“It was so odd. After all, he was a grown man who had served in the Falklands.

“But he absolutely loved the ­teddies and was very clear about how he wanted them arranged.”

With Charles seemingly bent on ensuring his brother is made to suffer, it doesn’t seem likely that staff will indulge him in arranging all of his bears at Marsh Farm.

The bears are currently understood to be housed in a south London warehouse alongside Mr Mountbatten-Windsor’s other possessions, where they are likely to remain, no matter how much the former prince wishes otherwise. This facility is under 24-hour protection.

However, a cuddly monkey is said to currently be on his person.

He’s been grappling with the process of downsizing for months. Having shared the Royal Lodge with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson for years, the pair were said to have amassed a ridiculous amount of possessions.

Ms Ferguson was spotted sneaking in and out of the Windsor Estate in the weeks leading up to their official booting, taking boxes upon boxes of items with her.

Reports indicated that Mr Mountbatten-Windsor was somewhat of a hoarder, the rooms of the Royal Lodge lined with possession he insisted he could not part with.

Though he was released after 11 hours of questioning following his arrest on February 19, Mr Mountbatten-Windsor is still being investigated by police.

His daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie have faced scrutiny over their own mentions in the Epstein files, but have not made any public appearances since.
