Police action and statements

Norfolk Police say officers were called to Wolferton shortly after 7:30pm on Wednesday, May 6, 2026. A man was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence and possession of an offensive weapon and taken to King’s Lynn Police Investigation Centre, where he remains in custody. Buckingham Palace declined to comment. Reports say Andrew and his protection officer were asked to give statements.

Background and ongoing scrutiny

Marsh Farm became Andrew’s residence in April after his move from Royal Lodge. The former prince has faced reduced royal support and scrutiny in recent years, including changes to his titles and finances and various legal and public controversies, all of which form the context for renewed calls to review his security arrangements.
