New neighbours have moved in next to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor after his High Court win over his arrest.
A herd of rare British White Cows has arrived in a field right next to disgraced former duke's current home, Marsh Farm on the Sandringham Estate.
King Charles has added the cows, one of Britain’s oldest recorded domestic breeds, to his herd of 200 native heritage cattle.
Their presence supports the King’s environmental goals for the estate, as the cattle help break down vegetation, boost plant diversity and create bare ground to support bird species.
The King has introduced a range of conservation and sustainability measures at Sandringham, including fully organic farming, production of grass-fed meat, removal of single-use plastics from estate cafes and a biomass boiler to heat the house.
It comes as the former prince won a High Court challenge on Thursday over the legality of police raids at his two homes earlier this year.
Earlier this year, Andrew was arrested at the royal estate on suspicion of misconduct in a public office on his 66th birthday and detained for nearly 12 hours before being released on police bail.
The allegations relate to claims that he shared sensitive information with Jeffrey Epstein while serving as the UK’s trade envoy.
The legal challenge focused on whether the search and seizure of items by Thames Valley Police was lawful.
According to reports, the former Duke of York has instructed lawyers after allegedly discovering that "private and confidential material unconnected to the criminal investigation" had been taken during the raid by the force.
At a hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice on Thursday, which Andrew did not attend, Mr Justice Hilliard said that “agreement was reached between the claimant and Thames Valley Police that the search warrants were unlawful”.
But the judge also said that “the fact that the search warrants were quashed does not bring an investigation to an end, or mean that the whole of the investigation was unlawful”.
