“Exile on a Flood Plain.” Shamed Prince Andrew Hit by Fresh Blow as New Home Faces Flood Risk

ANDREW Mountbatten­Windsor could be flushed out of a ­second home when he moves to his exile pad — because it is at risk of flooding.

The ex-prince’s Marsh Farm is on a flood plain with residents advised to sign up for alerts in case local measures fail to stop a torrent of water from a nearby bog.

It comes as work continues on the ramshackled former farmhouse in Wolferton, Norfolk — two miles from the King’s Sandringham House — ahead of his move there after he is kicked out of Royal Lodge in Windsor.

Workmen have added a 6ft fence around the perimeter, CCTV and security lighting and installed Sky TV.

Several new doors have also been lined up, but ­sources say there is still a lot of work to be done.

Andrew could be out of Royal Lodge in weeks but has been offered temporary accommodation before he moves to Marsh Farm.

A flood risk assessment from last year for Wolferton Barns — metres from Marsh Farm — said it would be “prudent” for the owner to be added to the flood warning system in case the pumping station which drains marshland had a mechanical breakdown.

The assessment by Ellingham Consulting states: “The Environment Agency operates a flood warning system to enable householders to protect life or act to manage the effect of flooding on property.

“Failure of Wolferton Pumping Station may occur due to long-term mechanical breakdown or power supply being disrupted.

“If conditions put properties and land at risk of flooding, emergency action would be taken using temporary pumping equipment.”

THE GHOST OF JALISCO HAS FALLEN. 🚨 After 15 years of outsmarting the world, El Mencho’s luck ran out in Tapalpa. Tracking his girlfriend, Guadalupe Moreno Carrillo, was the only way the military could bypass his armored vehicles and drones. 🌑💔  One final firefight, one fatal wound, and a 30-minute helicopter ride to a deathbed in Mexico City. The era of the CJNG’s “untouchable” leader is officially over. ⚖️🛡️  FIND OUT how the Air Force and National Guard coordinated the strike in the comments.
RESTRUCTURING THE SHADOWS. 🚨 Though the most wanted man in Mexico has fallen, the power network he left behind is reportedly operating in total silence. Intelligence observers are tracking the “hidden hands” of El Mencho’s wife and daughter as they navigate the fallout of his death.  Reports of an internal power shift are emerging from the Jalisco heartland. With regional security tensions at an all-time high, the question remains: Can the “Queen of the CJNG” hold together a 33,000-man army, or is the empire about to fracture from within? 🛡️👣  READ the secret intelligence report on “La Jefa’s” next move in the comments. 👇
30 YEARS RUNNING. 1 DATE ENDING. 🚨 They say the most expensive thing you can ever lose is your head, and for El Mencho, that price was paid in full this week. The leader of the CJNG was the world’s most elusive shadow, until a “romantic rendezvous” led special forces straight to his hidden villa.  High-tech drones watched the skies, but it was a single car leading to a “love nest” in Tapalpa that sealed his fate. He built a fortress, but he gave the key to the one person who could lead them to him. The game is over, and the throne is empty. 🛡️👣  READ the secret intelligence report on how the “mistress” was tracked in the comments. 👇
