I googled Sandringham House-Achmet and turned up the following on Alexandra's trip to Egypt: "Alix brought back two live trophies. One was Ali Achmet, a Nubian orphan boy, who attached himself to the expedition and became a kind of mascot. He was installed at Sandringham and baptised with Nertie and Alix as godparents. He could, however, not be disuaded from stealing things. The other was a black ram who she rescued from the butcher and also installed at her menagerie at Sandringham. Finally they visited Alix's brother King George in Greece. [Battiscombe, pp. 104-105.]". He may have been renamed with Christian names at baptism. . I can find nothing on the 1871, 1881 or 1891 Censuses for Sandringham. It may be worth going to the Sandringham Estate website and emailing them to see if they can help.
