Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor whined ‘you can't do this to me’ as he was removed from royal residence
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor whined ‘you can't do this to me’ as he was removed from royal residence it has been reported.
The former prince Andrew - now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor - ranted of being 'the Queen's second son’ saying ‘you can't do this to me’ - as he was removed from his former home as the fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal continues.
Andrew, who was last week arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office following revelations in files related to disgraced paedophile Epstein, was moved out of 30-room Royal Lodge, which he had been renting for a 'peppercorn' fee for decades, earlier this month.
But the Daily Mail said the troubled former prince did not to want to leave for his new home - Wood Farm, on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk. An insider told The Sun on Sunday: "He refused to leave or take any responsibility.
“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'. It is extraordinary he chose to use the Queen's name in his defence. No one is quite sure if the reality of his dire situation has hit home even yet."
The claims over his eviction came as a senior MP called for Andrew to be investigated for treason over accusations he passed confidential information to Epstein, who died after being arrested in the US in 2019. Ex-Security Minister Tom Tugendhat is demanding a special committee be set up and given powers to summon witnesses and demand documents.
The former prince was in police custody for 11 hours on Thursday (February 19) - his 66th birthday - before being released under investigation. Andrew has previously denied any wrongdoing involving Epstein, but has not directly responded to the latest allegations.
Meanwhile, the Government is also believed to be considering a new law to remove Andrew from the royal line of succession as the monarchy struggles to regain trust amid the Epstein fallout.
Last year, he was stripped of his royal titles, including as Duke of York, but remains eighth in line to the throne, with an Act of Parliament would required to prevent him ever becoming king.
In the coming days, royals are expected to carry out their duties as normal. This includes the Prince and Princess of Wales with Kate appearing at Twickenham for the Six Nations rugby match between England and Ireland on Saturday (February 21).
Meanwhile, Lord Peter Mandelson - who has also had his two properties searched by police following revelations of his involvement with Epstein - was seen leaving his north London home on Saturday.
A taxi arrived as the former business secretary was seen leaving his front door carrying a tote bag.
