VideoFormer Prince Andrew faces pressure from palace representatives to voluntarily renounce his position in the royal line of succession.

Disgraced royal Andrew-Mountbatten Windsor has come in for a brutal roasting, hours after he was spotted for the first time since being arrested last month.

The former prince broke cover at his new home, Marsh Farm, on Saturday local time, seen walking his dogs around the property with just a bodyguard for company.

In long range photos, Mountbatten-Windsor appeared a forlorn figure in the picturesque surroundings of the Sandringham estate.

He moved there earlier this month after his brother King Charles kicked him out of the luxurious 31-room Royal Lodge on the Windsor estate amid the Epstein scandal.

He has not been seen since he was photographed slumped and looking shell-shocked in the back of a car as he was driven away from the Aylsham police investigation centre on February 19.

Mountbatten-Windsor is under investigation over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein and was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in a public office amid allegations he shared sensitive information with the paedophile billionaire while he was the trade envoy.

Adding insult to injury, Mountbatten-Windsor came in for more public humiliation over the weekend, this time at the hands of the newly launched UK version of Saturday Night Live.

He was the butt of jokes in the sketch comedy show’s Weekend Update by Ania Magliano and Paddy Young.

“Coming up on Weekend Update: pedophilia. But first, war!” they began the sketch, before launching into some jokes about the Iran-US-Israel war and then returning to sledge Mountbatten-Windsor.

“Renovations to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s new home, Marsh Farm, have been taking place over the last month, including the installation of Sky TV. So, if you’re watching this Andrew, hello!”

“You’re not gonna like this next bit. Also, I’m older than I look,” Magliano said.

“Andrew’s new residence, Marsh Farm, is of course named after the nearby marsh where his body will be found.”

“It was reported this week that the police investigation into Andrew is set to widen,” Young said. “The big question now is, if Andrew is charged, found guilty and put in prison, will he be able to keep his mouth shut? I hope not, said his cellmate’s penis.”
