On April 3, 2026, a security incident involving Andrew Windsor emerged, as two individuals were reportedly seen scaling the fence of his residence on the Sandringham estate.
The former duke, now 66 and estranged from royal duties, was evaluating Marsh Farm, his soon-to-be permanent home on the King’s Sandringham estate when the breach occurred on Thursday. News of the event surfaced the following day.
Andrew Windsor is at the centre of a security scare after a man and a girl were seen climbing the fence of his new home on the Sandringham estate
The Daily Mail reported that the incident involved a red car arriving outside the farmhouse. Two people exited the vehicle and proceeded to climb over the property’s newly installed 6-foot fence, attempting to glimpse inside.
Photographs featured by the Mail captured the duo perched atop the gate, trying to view the farmhouse interior, which is currently under renovation in preparation for Andrew’s anticipated relocation in the coming weeks.
Images published by the Mail showed the pair standing on top of the gate while trying to look inside the farmhouse, which is undergoing renovation works ahead of Andrew’s expected move in the coming weeks.
Security personnel responded quickly, and the situation was defused before the pair returned to their car and drove away.
Andrew later spent time at the property and was seen meeting with Sandringham estate manager Edward Parsons.
He is currently residing at Wood Farm while renovation work continues, with builders reportedly installing luxury carpets, a Sky dish and a high-speed broadband connection.
Andrew has made several visits to the site this week, including being seen arriving in his Range Rover with a security guard in the passenger seat.
The development comes as Andrew remains under police investigation.
He has been accused of leaking sensitive information to Jeffrey Epstein, and was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in a public office on his 66th birthday on 19 February.
He is expected to remain in Norfolk over Easter and will not attend the Royal Family’s traditional service at Windsor this year.
Over the weekend, Andrew was also seen inspecting horses near his home, despite reports aides had urged him to stop riding due to concerns it would be “a bad look” while under investigation.
Andrew’s daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are also understood to have made alternative plans for Easter.
Sources told the Mail the pair remain a key part of the family and will be seen at future events.
A caravan – a £26,000 Willerby Meridian Lodge – was delivered to Andrew’s current home earlier this month and is understood to be being used to house his security detail, reportedly funded through money provided by King Charles, 77, as “living expenses”.
