Prince Edward has become the first member of the Royal Family to visit his brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, since the former prince and Duke of York’s departure from Windsor. This week, the Duke of Edinburgh reportedly visited Andrew in Norfolk, marking the first family visit in over two months to have a “quiet word with his brother.”

The disgraced prince has been living away from the public eye since being evicted from Royal Lodge over his associations with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and is set to move into Marsh Farm on the Sandringham estate. He was arrested on his 66th birthday in February. It is believed that neither Beatrice nor Eugenie has visited Andrew since his exile in Sandringham.

Andrew was recently seen meeting the Sandringham estate manager. According to reports, Andrew is expected to make the move by Easter. Sources have said he has been ‘reluctant’ to make the move to Marsh Farm, The Sun reports.

A friend told the Sun: “Prince Edward was the first and only member of the Royal Family to visit. Andrew has been ignored by everyone since he left Royal Lodge, including his daughters and ex-wife, who have stayed away.

“Edward has already publicly made his feelings clear when he expressed concern for the victims. Edward was meant to be staying at Wood Farm as he regularly books it for Easter, but his brother was there.

“Andrew has been dragging his heels. He could have moved by now, but has been reluctant. Edward has had a quiet word with his brother.”

Prince Edward became the first senior royal to publicly address the latest Jeffrey Epstein document revelations involving his brother.

Speaking at the World Government Summit in Dubai in February, he told CNN’s Eleni Giokos: “Well, with the best will in the world, I’m not sure this is the audience that is the least bit interested in that.

“They all came here to listen to education, solving the future, but no, I think it’s all really important, always, to remember the victims and who are the victims in all this.”

The former Duke of York was stripped of his royal titles last year. Andrew has consistently and strenuously denied any wrongdoing.
