Norfolk grandees seek a cautious welcome for Andrew

North Norfolk’s aristocratic set is reportedly considering a limited return to society for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor

The former Duke of York has faced renewed scrutiny since his arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office, followed by a security scare near his home on the Sandringham estate

The Earl and Countess of Leicester are said to have hosted him at Holkham, where a modest kitchen supper may have marked the beginning of a thaw

Other established Norfolk families could now follow, suggesting the social doors are opening — if only on the latch.
