EXCLUSIVE: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor tried to duck down in an ultimately futile attempt to avoid being photographed as his guards drove him away from a police station after his arrest. A newly released sequence of pictures show the look of horror on the former prince’s face as he attempted to dodge camera flashes going off outside the police custody suite where he had been questioned for 11 hours last Thursday. In a case of “going, going, gone”, the sequence shows him gradually slumping down in the rear passenger seat before completely disappearing from view in a final image taken as his car accelerated out of the Police Investigation Centre in Aylsham, Norfolk. But Andrew’s attempt to hide himself proved fruitless as he had already been snapped by East Anglia News Service, working exclusively for the Mail on Sunday, and a Reuters news agency photographer who got a single picture of him. The Reuters picture was immediately syndicated and was making headline news on websites and TV bulletins around the world before the former prince had been driven the 40 miles back to his new home on the Sandringham estate. Norfolk Police had earlier allowed Andrew’s security team to drive his personal Range Rover into the custody suite compound so they could pick him up. Andrew lost his state-funded armed protection officers in early 2022 when he was stripped of his military roles and use of his HRH title amid the growing scandal about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. Ever since he has had private unarmed guards, paid for by the late Queen and his brother King Charles, and they have continued to provide security for him following his move to the Sandringham estate nearly three-weeks-ago. His guards were allowed to follow the unmarked police Volvo taking him into custody after Thames Valley officers swooped on his temporary home at Wood Farm and arrested him on suspicion of misconduct in a public office. The pair were spotted as they waited in the Range Rover in a Starbucks car park just over half a mile from the Police Investigation Centre at Aylsham. They were permitted to drive through electronic gates into the PIC’s private car park for police vehicles after he was released under investigation at around 7pm instead of picking him up from the public visitor’s car park at the front. His guards then entered the rear entrance of an internal garage where the unmarked police Volvo which had been used to transport Andrew on his 66th birthday was parked., Both vehicles left the PIC together after the front roller shutter doors of the garage and electronic gates were opened for them, with Andrew sitting in the rear seat of his own car and his guards in the front. The King had released a statement after Andrew’s arrest saying, “The law must take its course” which suggested that he would be dealt with like any ordinary member of the public. But one source with knowledge of the PIC at Aylsham said: “It is clear Andrew was given special treatment. If a normal person was arrested, their friends would not be allowed to drive into the compound to pick them up.” A Norfolk Constabulary spokesperson refused to comment on the claims, or say why Andrew was not made to leave by the front door as another member of the public had been seen to do earlier in the day. Andrew appears to have been spending his time indoors at Wood Farm since his release from custody, avoiding the Norfolk rain and the press pack camped at the end of his driveway. 19 Feb 2026 Pictured: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
