Neighbors' anger towards Andrew: 'Not welcome here'
Neighbors of former prince Andrew express their strong discontent, saying he is not welcome in their community due to allegations against him.
In Sandringham, neighbors have voiced their palpable anger towards Prince Andrew, describing him as unwelcome in the locality. The discontent stems from serious allegations against him, including accusations of being a pedophile, which have tainted his reputation in the eyes of the locals. Local pub owner John Higginson reported that many residents were opposed to Andrew moving into the area, highlighting the tension that surrounds his presence now.
The sentiments were echoed by patrons of The Feathers pub, located just a kilometer from Andrew's residence. Previous owners of the pub included the royal family, who would often close it to the public when they wished for privacy. Now, however, the situation has changed, and locals feel entitled to exercise their voices against Andrew. One of the pub's regulars explicitly said, upon seeing Andrew, he should be told that he is 'not welcome' there. This reflects an undeniable divide between the royal family members seen favorably by the public and Andrew, who is viewed with disdain.
Pub owner Higginson expressed frustration regarding Andrew's ability to escape the accusations that have plagued him. His comments suggest that the community holds strong feelings about accountability and responsibility, emphasizing their loyalty to other family members such as King Charles, Prince William, and Princess Catherine. This incident highlights the ongoing challenges that Prince Andrew faces amidst public scrutiny, showing how deep-rooted the local sentiments are against him.
