Ex-Prince Andrew Living in State of 'Absolute Terror and Rage' Over Lack of Security at New Home

The ex-Prince Andrew is said to be living in a state of "absolute terror and rage" after a security breach at his new Norfolk home, with protesters gaining access to the property just weeks after his move to the Sandringham estate.

OK! can reveal Andrew, 66, who has been staying at Wood Farm on the Sandringham Estate while renovations continue on his new residence, Marsh Farm, is said to have been inside the property when four protesters arrived by car, shouted abuse and climbed the fence.

The incident took place in early April and marks a significant breach of security at the farmhouse, where work has been ongoing in preparation for Andrew's relocation following his departure from Royal Lodge.

His move comes after King Charles III, 77, stripped him of his royal titles and patronages last year and ordered him out of the $40 million Royal Lodge mansion where he had lived for decades before he was plunged into disgrace over his long-standing relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

A royal source said: "The incident has really unsettled Andrew – it's not just the shock of what happened, but also a growing sense of frustration and anger because it's exposed what he sees as serious weaknesses in the security arrangements. Given the level of attention he's already under, something like this only amplifies his concerns over his safety, and he's finding it difficult to reconcile how a breach like this was even possible in what's meant to be a protected environment. He is essentially in a state of absolute rage over his security setup and also terror of what may happen to him. Rather than offering the privacy and security he was hoping for, it's highlighted that his moves are making him way more exposed and not as insulated as he might have believed, even in a quieter, more remote location."

According to reports, the protesters climbed the fence in front of Andrew's house and shouted abuse before security intervened. They then returned to their vehicle and fled the scene.

Earlier that day, Andrew had been seen arriving alone in a Range Rover, visiting the property to monitor progress on renovations, which have included new security gates, interior fittings and furnishings.

The incident comes amid a period of huge upheaval for Andrew, who has been relocating his belongings – including paintings and books – in recent weeks to Marsh Farm.

A royal source said: "Andrew is only at Wood Farm on a temporary basis, and because it's regularly used by other members of the family, there's increasing pressure for him to complete the move and settle into Marsh Farm sooner rather than later. A huge amount of work has already gone into getting the property ready – security measures are now being strengthened, installations have been happening nonstop, and the interiors are now largely in place, from major furnishings to a fully fitted kitchen."

Andrew's relocation follows the fallout from his association with the late s-- trafficker Epstein, which led to his recent arrest.

Andrew has since been released "under investigation" after being seized by cops on suspicion of misconduct in public office after allegedly sharing sensitive information with his pal Epstein during his role as a trade envoy for Britain.

While Marsh Farm offers a quieter setting for the shamed ex-prince, complete with access to extensive grounds and equestrian facilities, insiders say he "hates" the idea of moving away from the palatial Royal Lodge.
