It is understood the Prince and Princess of Wales were on the
Sandringham estate for half-term when the raid on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s home took place.
Kate and William’s Anmer Hall home is just six miles from Wood Farm, where Andrew was arrested yesterday.
The humiliated ex-prince was taken into Aylsham police station, 55 minutes away, after being taken into custody on suspicion of misconduct in a public office.
He went on to spend his 66th birthday being questioned by police while Kate and Wills enjoyed the half-term break.
The King, who was not told of the arrest in advance, released a statement saying “the law must take its course.”
The Prince and Princess of Wales are understood to support King Charles’ remarks.

The King expressed his “deepest concern” over the arrest of his brother in a written statement.
It read: “I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office.
“What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities.
“In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation.
“Let me state clearly: the law must take its course.
“As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter.
“Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all. Charles R.”
