A large quantity of manure was dumped outside the recently acquired residence of former Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, on Monday. The incident occurred shortly after Andrew moved into a property described by Dutch media as a “red brick house,” previously occupied by Edward VII, known as “Dirty Bertie.”
The dumping of manure is the latest in a series of public incidents involving the former prince. Andrew was arrested at his home on February 20, 2026, during his birthday, according to reports. He was subsequently released from police custody, though the investigation remains ongoing.
Recent reporting has linked Andrew to both Chinese and Russian intelligence services, alleging he was a “useful idiot” targeted due to “deep hatred and jealousy” towards his brother, King Charles. The Telegraph reported on these alleged links three days prior to the manure incident.
The arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, as he is now formally known, was not unexpected, with British authorities reportedly tightening scrutiny. The nature of the ongoing investigation has not been fully disclosed, but sources suggest it extends beyond the initial allegations that led to his arrest last month.
No official statement has been released by Buckingham Palace or the British government regarding the manure dumping or the ongoing investigation. Authorities have not commented on whether the two events are connected.
