Overview
- Police charged Alex Jenkinson over an alleged threat near Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s Sandringham home, turning fresh attention to his security setup.
- Andrew relies on privately paid bodyguards reported to be former Metropolitan Police protection officers who are not armed and do not receive state intelligence.
- The i Paper and GB News report the King provides private funds that help cover his security rather than drawing on the taxpayer-backed Sovereign Grant.
- After losing his titles in October, Andrew left Windsor’s Royal Lodge and moved to Marsh Farm, a smaller home on the Sandringham estate.
- Thames Valley Police arrested him earlier this year over allegations and released him under investigation, and royal commentators say he remains kept at arm’s length yet not fully cut off as he continues to deny wrongdoing.
