A shocking security breach at Marsh Farm has sent Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s paranoia into overdrive, a source tells the National Enquirer.
According to a newDaily Mail report, the former Duke of York, 66, was inspecting his new five-bedroom farmhouse in Sandringham, England, when a red car pulled up on Thursday, April 2. Two people — a man and a girl — got out, scaled the exterior gate and attempted to peek over a 6-foot fence.
“Andrew is absolutely beside himself over this,” says the source. “He cannot understand how people were able to get that close to the property.”
Security was quick to react, sending the pair back into their car, according to the Daily Mail, but that seems to have done little to ease the disgraced royal’s fears.
“He’s convinced this was a serious breach, not just some harmless incident and says if something isn’t done to increase his protection, it’s only a matter of time before something worse happens,” reveals the source. “He believes he’s under real threat, that people out there want him dead and he’s furious that no one seems to be taking this seriously enough.”

Reportedly in need of extensive renovations, Marsh Farm is a far cry from Royal Lodge, the 30-room residence Andrew called home for over 20 years.
“He says this is exactly what he expected to happen when they forced him to move into this dump without the level of security he believes he should have,” says the source, “and he’s pointing the finger squarely at his brother for putting him in this position.”
As the Enquirer previously reported, King Charles III stripped Andrew of his royal titles and ordered him out of Royal Lodge in October amid growing outrage over his ties to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Andrew, who has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, “feels like Charles and the rest of the family have washed their hands of him and left him to a sitting duck,” adds the source. “He’s accusing them of putting his life on the line, and says he will not let it slide.”
