  "textContent": "\n\n\nAndrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been spotted looking longingly at horses on the Sandringham Estate after he was “banned” from riding last month.\n\nThe former Duke of York was reportedly banned from riding on horseback, as it would be a “bad look” amid the ongoing scrutiny regarding his links to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nBefore relocating to Sandringham, Mr Mountbatten-Windsor was frequently seen riding around the Windsor estate.\n\nIn the photos, Andrew can be seen looking on at the horses with his security guard near Wood Farm yesterday afternoon.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe pictures confirm that the disgraced former royal has yet to move to his permanent home at Marsh Farm, despite moving vans being pictured outside the property.\n\nSince February 2, the former prince has been staying at Wood Farm, the former home of his late father, Prince Philip, while renovation work at Marsh Farm was being completed.\n\nIt comes after spending two decades living at Royal Lodge in Windsor, the 30-room home Mr Mountbatten-Windsor was forced to leave following an unceremonious eviction by King Charles.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe King withdrew Mr Mountbatten-Windsor's annual allowance and private security funding in 2024, leaving him responsible for the significant maintenance and security costs of the dilapidated mansion.\n\nIt later emerged that Mr Mountbatten-Windsor had paid only a \"peppercorn\" rent for decades, which raised public and political concerns about the transparency of the deal with the Crown Estate and the use of public funds.\n\nTradesmen have been spotted driving fence posts into the ground to replace old wire fencing with a robust six-foot wooden barrier.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nAlong with the physical barrier, the property has been fitted with CCTV cameras and new security lighting.\n\nRemoval vans were spotted at Marsh Farm throughout the week of March 17, delivering furniture, artwork, and personal items.\n\nThree large blue lorries from Gander & White, a company holding a Royal Warrant that specialises in transporting fine art, were seen pulling into the driveway.\n\n### LATEST ROYAL NEWS\n\n\n\n\n  * Andrew's staff ordered to remove his belongings as 'no trace' should be left at Royal Lodge\n  * Duke of Edinburgh announces patronage to celebrate World Theatre Day\n  * Queen Elizabeth II memorial risks surge in violence, claim millionaires\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe removal lorries were followed by a Tesco delivery van, believed to be bringing kitchen essentials ahead of his arrival.\n\nAdditional removals staff were seen carrying boxes into the property on March 20, some of which were notably still labelled with \"HRH\" despite Mr Mountbatten-Windsor being stripped of that title.\n\nAs of yet, Mr Mountbatten-Windsor has not officially moved into Marsh Farm, despite being photographed behind the wheel of his green Range Rover on Wednesday with his bodyguard.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nCrews are understood to have been working \"round the clock\" on \"finishing touches,\" including internal decorating, kitchen installations, and fitting carpets.\n\nBecause Marsh Farm is significantly smaller than Royal Lodge, there was no space for round-the-clock security staff.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
