Man Arrested After Alleged Threat to Andrew Near Sandringham Home

The scare renews questions over his protection following the end of his police security in 2022.

Overview

  • Norfolk Police said officers responded Wednesday around 7:30pm in Wolferton and arrested a man on suspicion of a public order offence and possessing an offensive weapon, and he remains in custody.
  • Reports say a balaclava-clad man left a car, shouted at Andrew as he walked his dogs near Marsh Farm, and ran after his vehicle as he and a private guard drove away, with statements later taken from both men.
  • The suspect was taken to the King’s Lynn Police Investigation Centre for questioning after officers searched a vehicle at the scene, and police have not specified the type of weapon alleged.
  • Andrew now lives at Marsh Farm on the private Sandringham estate with a private security detail after losing state-funded police protection in 2022, and sources are urging a formal review of his current security.
  • Tensions inside the royal family persist, with reports that King Charles recently stayed at nearby Wood Farm without meeting his brother, and with Andrew still released under investigation after his February 19 arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
