Ex-Prince Andrew may be facing intense media scrutiny, but there’ll be no more awkward paparazzi snaps if King Charles can help it. The monarch is reportedly going to great lengths to turn his disgraced brother’s new home into a fortress. Sources say there’s one aim – to keep Andy out of the public eye forever.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is still “under investigation” by authorities
Andrew is getting more media attention than ever thanks to his recent arrest. And with his move to Marsh Farm looming, Charles is apparently acting to keep his brother out of the spotlight.
According to RadarOnline, the new measures include six-foot fence around the property, CCTV cameras, and outdoor lighting. Officials have also made the area a no-fly zone.
An insider explained: “The King is absolutely determined that this situation does not spiral into a rolling media drama. From his perspective, the last thing the institution needs is a steady stream of photographs or daily commentary centered on Andrew’s movements.”
The source added: “Public engagements, state matters, and charitable work must not be overshadowed by the private circumstances of one family member. Drawing a visible and practical line between those spheres is seen as essential to protecting the stability and credibility of the crown. Plus, Charles would at this point rather Andrew is not seen in public for the rest of his life.”
Another insider said: “The aim is to push the residence further out of view from passing traffic and to make it significantly harder for photographers. It is about creating a secure perimeter that ensures privacy in a very tangible sense.”
Andrew was arrested on February 19 on suspicion of misconduct in public office. He was released a few hours later. The investigation remains ongoing.
