Prince Andrew is once again under scrutiny as new reports claim the disgraced royal has shown little remorse for the scandals that forced him out of public life.
According to royal author Robert Hardman, Andrew—formally known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor—has continued to complain about personal inconveniences even after being removed from his longtime residence, Royal Lodge.
Following his fall from grace, King Charles III reportedly relocated Andrew to a five-bedroom home on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk. The property sits on land privately owned by the monarch, and the King is said to be covering the expenses tied to the arrangement.
But insiders claim Andrew’s attitude since the move has raised eyebrows.
In a report for DailyMail.com, Hardman wrote that sources close to the royal family in Norfolk described Andrew as frequently voicing grievances rather than showing gratitude for the support he continues to receive.
According to the account, many of his complaints center on relatively minor issues—including where his horses will be stabled and frustrations about parking arrangements at the property.
“It’s astonishing,” one source told Hardman. “You would expect some humility under the circumstances, but instead he seems preoccupied with trivial matters.”
The source also suggested that Andrew has shown little appreciation for the financial assistance he continues to receive from his brother.
“You’d think he would be grateful, considering the King is covering his bills,” the insider said. “But he’s reportedly been quite rude about the whole situation.”
The criticism comes amid ongoing fallout from Andrew’s past association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a scandal that forced him to step back from royal duties and retreat from public life.
Adding to the pressure, Andrew was recently arrested in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office after the U.S. Department of Justice released emails suggesting he may have shared sensitive documents with Epstein during his time as a U.K. trade envoy.
Although he was released after 11 hours in custody, authorities continue to investigate the matter.
Hardman suggests that even if the legal investigation ultimately leads nowhere, Andrew’s alleged lack of remorse could permanently damage his standing within the royal family.
For King Charles, the controversy surrounding his younger brother appears far from over.
