Palace Aides Concerned About Prince Andrew’s Isolation Worries
The isolation worries around Prince Andrew are compounded by the lack of staff accommodation at Marsh Farm.
Prince Andrew will reportedly rely on ad hoc support from Sandringham staff rather than trusted aides who have long worked for him.
“It has been received very badly by Prince Andrew,” our palace mole said.
“Each new restriction only deepens the sense that his status and self-respect are being slowly dismantled, leaving him feeling diminished step by step.”
Prince Andrew’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, 66, has been helping him sort belongings and documents, with sensitive papers being handled by a former secretary.
The pair, despite divorcing in 1996, have remained close, and sources say Ferguson is also worried about Andrew’s wellbeing.
One friend said: “She is genuinely worried about his state of mind and how he is managing under the pressure. From her perspective, he is struggling to cope with the scale of the changes being forced on him, and that has become a serious concern.”
For King Charles, the situation has become a source of anguish.
A palace source said: “There is a genuine fear that the sheer humiliation attached to Marsh Farm could push him beyond his limits. A number of aides feel the King has crossed a line, and they are deeply frightened about the potential damage this could inflict on Andrew’s mental health.”
