“He refused to leave or take any responsibility.”
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor reportedly said “I’m the Queen’s son, you can’t do this to me” as he was removed from his residence at the Royal Lodge, an insider has claimed.
The former Prince was arrested earlier this week on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
He was arrested on his birthday at Wood Farm, a secluded cottage on the Sandringham grounds.
Andrew was moved to a different residence after being evicted from his former home at the Royal Lodge, also on the grounds of Sandringham.
Buckingham Palace announced in October that Andrew would be moving out of Royal Lodge, around the same time he was stripped of his title of prince.
A royal insider has now told The Sun that Andrew allegedly “refused to leave or take any responsibility” as he was evicted, and reportedly tried to use “I’m the Queen’s son” as a way to defend himself from being booted out.
“He refused to leave or take any responsibility,” an insider told the outlet.
“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.”
A second insider claimed that Andrew “did not want to leave”.
Pressure had been long building on Andrew over his links to paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein; however, Mountbatten-Windsor has always denied any wrongdoing.
