‘Angry’ Andrew’s expectation for new home as shamed royal ‘has no idea how to cook’
The disgraced royal will make his move out of Royal Lodge in the new year.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor may have had to give up on Royal Lodge, but he will be expecting to keep staff to help him in his new home, a royal expert has claimed. The disgraced prince is set to move to the Sandringham estate in the new year and probably has no idea how to cook, clean or shop for himself, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond said.
The ex-royal is "living in fear and angry", she added, as Andrew was spotted for the first time since being stripped of his royal titles on November 17. He was seen horse-riding around the Windsor estate, after not making any appearances for several weeks.

Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond believes the former prince would be feeling “humiliated” after being stripped of his titles, as he continues to deny the allegations linked to the ongoing Epstein scandal.
Jennie told the Mirror: “I’m sure he’s feeling humiliated and, by all accounts, angry. You have to remember that he has consistently protested his innocence.
“Therefore, he feels wronged. But the reality is he now has just a few weeks left before he has to leave Royal Lodge, which has been his home for more than 20 years.”
With Andrew set to move into a home on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk in the new year, the royal expert claimed he will be expecting to have staff and that he doesn't know how to do a lot for himself.
“I don’t think Andrew is the sort of person who will ever feel humble,” she said. “That’s not in his nature.
“I think he will expect to have staff in his new home, as I don’t imagine he has the first idea about how to cook, clean or shop.”
Andrew’s reputation has been shattered in the wake of his connection to billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, however, Jennie says there’s one way he could show remorse.
She said: “One thing he could do to show some remorse (for, at the very least, his bad judgment in befriending Epstein) is to cooperate with the Congressional committee and tell them what he saw and what he knows. At the moment, though, that seems unlikely.”
Andrew has been summoned by the Congressional House Oversight Committee's ranking Democrat as it investigates paedophile Epstein's activities in the US , with Congressional investigators saying in a letter they want his assistance to “uncover the identities of Mr Epstein’s co-conspirators and enablers”.
