Royal Lodge Search to Run Through Monday

Thames Valley Police are keeping the pressure on with a second day of searches at Royal Lodge in Berkshire, the former home of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Officers confirmed the search will continue through the weekend and into Monday. Meanwhile, separate police activity at a Norfolk property on the Sandringham estate has wrapped up.

Norfolk Searches Finished at Sandringham Estate

The Norfolk operation focused on Wood Farm, where Andrew was staying when arrested Thursday morning. Authorities have finished their search there, signalling they’ve likely collected what they needed from the residence linked to Andrew’s detention.

Two Homes, Two Different Timelines

The ongoing searches at Royal Lodge—a longer-standing home for Andrew before his move to Norfolk—contrast with the quicker sweep in Wood Farm, reflecting a difference in the volume or nature of evidence at each site.

  • Royal Lodge searches suggest a deeper probe or specific items to find.
  • Wood Farm’s swift conclusion hints at a more straightforward search linked to Andrew’s recent stay.
  • The two properties are miles apart, highlighting the investigation’s sprawling nature.

Unanswered Questions and Ongoing Probe

Thames Valley Police have kept tight-lipped about what exactly they’re hunting for in either location, or if anything significant has been found so far. Andrew remains in custody, facing suspicion of misconduct in public office following his Thursday arrest.

With searches continuing in Berkshire and the possibility of more locations being scrutinised, the investigation shows no sign of slowing down. Updates will follow as the police uncover more.
