The former Duke of York, who is an exile at Sandringham, is seen paranoid and lonely by onlookers as he goes in and out of his new residence.

This comes as Andrew was largely absent from King Charles birthday parade last month.

An insider told Daily Express: "He's become used to watching his family celebrate Trooping without him, but Garter Day will be a really tough day for him. It's one of those days that reminds him of all that he's lost. He's feeling more isolated than ever; he's completely alone."

A source said: "This is a clear demonstration of the fact that you cannot un-invent a member of the Royal Family. Regardless of the fact that Mr Mountbatten-Windsor has had his titles removed and is no longer a working royal, he still continues to face security threats.

"There is just as much of a risk to him from fixated individuals as there is to any active members of the Royal Family, if not more so because of all the publicity surrounding him. Despite all that has happened and is happening, he has no choice but to remain the current monarch's brother and son of the late Queen Elizabeth II,” said the source.
