The original plan was for Andrew to move out of Windsor next week; however, the latest revelations infuriated the King and his move was rushed forward. A royal source told the Daily Mail: “The sight of him plastered on the front pages, out riding his horse or driving in his car past photographers in Windsor, amid the continued dripping poison of the Epstein files, was just too much. He had to be removed from the public eye.
“Charles said enough was enough and the message was conveyed to Andrew that it was time for him to head to Norfolk immediately.”
It’s been reported that the disgraced former prince moved to Norfolk, shielded by the darkness of the night on Monday evening.
It came as police said they were assessing allegations that a woman was sent to the UK by Epstein for a sexual encounter with Andrew.
Lawyers representing the woman have urged the King to contact them following allegations that their client was sent to the UK for a sexual encounter with his brother.
Brad Edwards, from the US firm Edwards Henderson, previously told the BBC his client had spent the night with Andrew after being given a tour of Buckingham Palace.
In a statement, a Thames Valley Police spokesperson said: “We are aware of reports about a woman said to have been taken to an address in Windsor in 2010 for sexual purposes.
“We are assessing the information in line with our established procedures. We take any reports of sexual crimes extremely seriously and encourage anyone with information to come forward.
“At this time, these allegations have not been reported to Thames Valley Police by either the lawyer or their client.”
Andrew, as well as his former wife, Sarah Ferguson, feature a number of times in the documents, which were released by the US Department of Justice on Friday, including images apparently showing the ex-duke crouched over an unidentified woman in what appears to be Epstein’s New York mansion.
Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing and appearing in the Epstein files does not necessarily mean any wrongdoing.
