Police Raid Royal Lodge as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor Probe Heats Up
Royal Lodge Searches Set to Drag On
Thames Valley Police are keeping up the pressure at Royal Lodge in Berkshire, with search operations now confirmed to run through the weekend and into Monday. Officers have maintained a visible presence outside the former home of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor for a second straight day.
This extended activity signals serious digging, suggesting extensive evidence or key items remain to be uncovered at the Berkshire estate, where Andrew lived before moving to Norfolk.
Norfolk Property Sweep Wrapped Up
Meanwhile, searches at a Norfolk property on the Sandringham estate—thought to be Wood Farm, where Andrew was staying when arrested—have now concluded. The relatively quick wrap-up there indicates investigators found what they needed from the home tied to his recent whereabouts.
This split timeline highlights the focus on Andrew’s two residences as the inquiry follows his movements from Berkshire to Norfolk.
Ongoing Investigation Amid Custody
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor remains in police custody after his arrest on Thursday morning on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Thames Valley Police have stayed tight-lipped on the specifics of the evidence sought or uncovered during the raids at both homes.
It’s clear the operation is far from over, with further searches beyond Monday possible depending on what emerges. The force promises updates as the probe unfolds but is guarding the details closely to protect the integrity of the investigation.
