Former Prince Andrew reportedly made a strange demand to his brother, King Charles, before his arrest. The ex-Duke of York was arrested on his 66th birthday on suspicion of misconduct in a public office.
According to sources, Andrew requested that his favorite horses be moved to the Sandringham Estate. An insider stated, "Everything else was being stripped away. The horses were the last piece of control he had." However, the request was complex, involving grooms, vets, and significant expense.
Another source noted Andrew "was planning riding routes, not legal defenses," highlighting his priorities. Royal author Robert Jobson commented on the potential fallout for the monarchy if it was found they knew of Andrew's alleged actions earlier.
