Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor received his first royal visitor over the weekend since he was exiled to the King’s Sandringham Estate. The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh reportedly popped in to see the former prince having been concerned for his wellbeing.
Andrew was arrested in February over suspicion of misconduct in public office and has been holed up at his temporary home, Wood Farm, ever since. He has received very few visitors, and even his two daughters have not yet paid him a visit.
But younger brother Edward decided to visit him in what sources described as “a brotherly welfare check”.
The Daily Mail reports that Edward has grown increasingly concerned for his brother in recent weeks. Andrew’s brother is alarmed by the tranche of allegations engulfing the former duke of york and is worried about his mental state.
A source told the publication: “Edward and Sophie had dinner with Andrew one night over the weekend and they talked things through.
“It’s true to say they both feel sorry for Andrew and how far he has fallen and they are worried about his fragile state of mind.
‘They do feel for him, but of course that doesn’t excuse his behaviour. It’s a difficult balancing act supporting him while not condoning what he has got involved with.
“Andrew still maintains has not done anything wrong and thinks he will be vindicated one day but I think Edward will have tried to talk some sense into him and made it clear his days as a working royal are over.”
