Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has shown his true colours with a 'jaw dropping demand' to his only three remaining staff, insisting they still call him 'Sir' and 'The Duke' despite his public humiliation and legal troubles.
Andrew's Shrinking Inner Circle
The Duke of York, 66, recently moved from his 30-room Royal Lodge in Windsor to a five-bedroom cottage on the King's Sandringham Estate in Norfolk. This downsizing reduced his household staff from 28 to just three. Shortly after the move, he was arrested by Thames Valley Police on suspicion of misconduct in a public office, which he strenuously denies.
Defiant Attitude Persists
Despite his arrest and the release of the Epstein Files, sources say Andrew remains unbowed. He insists his three remaining staff address him as 'Sir' and refer to him as 'The Duke'. This demand echoes his previous instructions to staff at Royal Lodge, where he reportedly told them to continue using his titles until 'they send a vampire to suck out every drop of royal blood in my veins'.
A palace insider previously revealed that 'nothing has changed inside Royal Lodge' and that staff still bowed and used his royal titles. Now, despite his reduced circumstances, Andrew's defiant attitude continues.
Fighting Back
Sources claim Andrew is far from broken by his arrest or the ongoing police investigation. Instead, he is holding his head high and vowing to tough it out. One well-placed royal source stated: 'Andrew has hardened considerably of late and believes he has been used as a scapegoat. He believes that the King has exceeded his authority and acted beyond his powers. He is beginning to fight back.'
