According to a source, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor isn't allowed to come and go to his former Windsor estate as he pleases following his removal from Royal Lodge. The former Duke of York must now arrange visits with The Firm to return and move his belongings. "It's the latest in a long line of indignities for him," an insider told

After the release of more files related to Jeffrey Epstein, King Charles III temporarily relocated Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to Sandringham's Wood Farm property.

The latest development will be a hurdle for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor as he settles into his new reality. "Andrew has left quite a lot of belongings behind, so he will have to return and collect them, but may only do so by strict appointment," the source said.

In the latest batch of Jeffrey Epstein documents, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was photographed hovering over an anonymous female. "These photos of Andrew with an unidentified woman in the files linked to the deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, coming after a recently released photograph of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor lying across four women at Sandringham, will bring more embarrassment for the royal family," royal expert
Richard Fitzwilliams told
Daily Express. "We don't know when they were taken or the context and he has denied all wrongdoing, but they will seem extremely d******, especially to a public, where, in the latest YouGov poll, he [Andrew] has only 6% support."

After being evicted from Royal Lodge, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was forced to relocate to Sandringham. However, staffers weren't excited about his arrival. "They've been told they don't have to serve Andrew or work for him if they feel uncomfortable," an insider told
