ANDREW Mountbatten-Windsor is reported to have made a final 12-word plea while being evicted from the Royal Lodge in Windsor.
The disgraced former prince was removed from the lodge during the night on February 2nd and taken to live on the King's Sandringham Estate.
The Sun reports that prior to the eviction, Mountbatten-Windsor refused to take any responsibility and repeatedly shouted: "But I’m the Queen’s second son, you can’t do this to me."

A royal insider told The Sun on Sunday: “He refused to leave or take any responsibility.
“When he was told to get out he was so arrogant and deluded he repeatedly shouted, ‘But I’m the Queen’s second son, you can’t do this to me’.
"It is extraordinary he chose to use the Queen’s name in his defence. No one is quite sure if the reality of his dire situation has hit home even yet.”
Another insider admitted the talks were tense as Mountbatten-Windsor made it clear he “did not want to leave”.
He was evicted from the lodge after he was found to have lied about his relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
In the latest release of documents relating to the sex offender, Mountbatten-Windsor features prominently, including multiple pictures of the King's brother with Epstein.
He was arrested on Thursday on suspicion of misconduct in a public office, related to his time as UK trade envoy from 2001 to 2011. He was held in custody for 11 hours before being released under investigation.
The arrest has accelerated calls for the government to implement a law that would allow the removal of Mountbatten-Windsor from the line of succession.

After Andrew’s arrest, the King said in a statement that “the law must take its course” and the police have “our full and wholehearted support and co-operation”.
In response to the arrest, Charles said: “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.”
