At least 20 tankers have been seen delivering 150,000 gallons of liquid manure to the new home of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The former Duke of York is currently residing at Wood Farm in Sandringham ahead of his anticipated move to Marsh Farm.


Renovation work and activity have been seen around the property, including the tankers spreading manure on fields at the back of Marsh Farm.

Large white lorries, which had Non-hazardous product" on display, rolled down the small, quaint roads carrying gallons of manure.

The world's media has descended on the Norfolk estate over the past month following the former prince's arrest and release under investigation for misconduct in public office.

Neighbours in the area shared their thoughts on his arrest.

Luke Schrier, 47, told The Times: "I just think Andrew needs to go. It's an embarrassment to England because this is going to be worldwide."

Local bricklayer Jamie Jackson said: "My mum and my nan all follow (the royals) – anyone my age doesn't care. I don't know anyone that supports him round here.

"I don't think it's very fair. They've arrested him in a Range Rover, brand-spanking new... why didn't he go in the back of a Mondeo like anybody else?"

Others took a more sympathetic approach to the wider Royal Family.

Jean Hindle, 84, who was walking near the estate, shared: "It's very sad, but good the Queen's not here."

A friend of the 84-year-old who was visiting said: "I do feel very sorry for him because he's the scapegoat.

"They make an example of him when there's so many others."

One other resident, who did not give his name, said he was "shocked" when he found out the news, adding: "I think it's a bit of a witch-hunt, but he's horrible."

Work has been ongoing at Marsh Farm, with a luxury carpet being installed ahead of the former prince's move.

Workmen from family-run company Linney Cooper were spotted at the property in Wolferton.

The company, which holds two Royal Warrants, provides luxury carpets and has installed flooring in numerous royal residences.

Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace have seen work done by the group.

As revealed by HELLO! magazine, a van from the five-star company has been seen at the property, to go along with Sky TV being installed and a fence nearly completed.

A trench has also been dug between the former farmhouse and a barn next door, but it is unclear why.

The allegations against Andrew include claims he shared classified information with associates, including convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing, including his Epstein links, but has not directly responded to the latest allegations.
