Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is allegedly in therapy after his arrest last month took a “huge” psychological toll on him. The former prince was arrested on February 19, his 66th birthday, following his inclusion in the Jeffrey Epstein files. He was released on bail after 12 hours, pending an investigation into allegations of misconduct in a public office. He has always denied any wrongdoing.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor seems to be under a “King Charles-imposed house arrest”
“Andrew has begun therapy because there are genuine fears he was going stir crazy,” an insider told Radar Online. This is because he is “living under what people inside the palace describe as King Charles-imposed house arrest.”
The source went on: “He is in the early stages of therapy after being assigned a counsellor who specializes in celebrities and members of royal families who struggle with intense public scrutiny.”
“From the palace perspective, the objective is to reduce exposure at every level,” the insider explained of the house arrest Andrew has been put under by his older brother, the King. “Limiting lines of sight, restricting access, and ensuring the residence cannot easily become a gathering point for photographers [is the aim].”
Last month, a photograph of Andrew returning to his home after being released from custody went viral almost immediately. It showed him crouching down in the back seat of the car, looking considerably worse for wear.
Andrew is currently living at Marsh Farm on the King’s Sandringham Estate. This follows his eviction from Royal Lodge, where he had lived in luxury for the last few decades. Elaborating on his “house arrest,” another palace insider said: “It is not a legal order, but the understanding is very clear.
“If he wishes to continue living comfortably under the King’s financial support, he must remain out of the public eye.”
