Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor 'feeling humiliated' as former royal prepares for his final month in Royal Lodge

As Andrew spends his last few weeks at Royal Lodge, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond suggested that the former Duke of York will be "angry" with the situation he finds himself in.

"I'm sure he's feeling humiliated and, by all accounts, angry. You have to remember that he has consistently protested his innocence. Therefore, he feels wronged.

"But the reality is, he now has just a few weeks left before he has to leave Royal Lodge, which has been his home for more than 20 years," Ms Bond told the Mirror.

Andrew is set to move into a home on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk in the new year, which the royal commentator believes will take some time for him to adjust to.

Ms Bond said: "I don't think Andrew is the sort of person who will ever feel humble.

"That's not in his nature. I think he will expect to have staff in his new home, as I don't imagine he has the first idea about how to cook, clean or shop."

Ms Bond said that Andrew should have worked with the US Congress following its request to speak with them about his connection with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

She commented: "One thing he could do to show some remorse... cooperate with the Congressional committee and tell them what he saw and what he knows. At the moment, though, that seems unlikely."

Sir Keir Starmer echoed the calls of the royal commentator over the weekend, saying he should share any information he has.

The Prime Minister said that while any decision was up to Andrew, his "general position is if you have relevant information you should be prepared to share it".

Asked whether the former prince should help in "any way he can" by reporters on the way to the G20 summit in South Africa, Mr Starmer responded: "I don't comment on his particular case.

"But as a general principle I've held for a very long time is that anybody who has got relevant information in relation to these kind of cases should give that evidence to those that need it. That would be my general position on this."

Questioned if that would apply to Andrew, Sir Keir said: "In the end, that will be a decision for him.

"But my general position is if you have relevant information, you should be prepared to share it."

The former prince missed the November 20 deadline to respond to the US Congress and testify before the House Oversight Committee.

Some 16 members of Congress sent the letter to Andrew, which read: "The committee is seeking to uncover the identities of Mr Epstein's co-conspirators and enablers, and to understand the full extent of his criminal operations.

"Well-documented allegations against you, along with your long-standing friendship with Mr Epstein, indicate that you may possess knowledge of his activities relevant to our investigation.

"In the interest of justice for the victims of Jeffrey Epstein, we request that you cooperate with the committee's investigation by sitting for a transcribed interview with the committee."
