Disgraced Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has reportedly traveled to Sandringham to view his new residence, displaying an unexpected reaction to the change in his living situation. He will be vacating Royal Lodge soon, following his expulsion by King Charles due to his connection with billionaire Jeffrey Epstein.
Having been ousted from the spacious 30-room mansion on the Windsor estate, Andrew is scheduled to relocate to Sandringham, specifically to Marsh Farm on the King’s privately-owned estate in Norfolk. Despite his long-standing desire to remain at the Royal Lodge, his recent visit to Norfolk seems to have shifted his perspective on his upcoming residence, which is notably smaller than his former abode where he resided for over two decades.
Following a discreet visit to Sandringham over the weekend, a source disclosed to The Sun: “It was the first time he’s seen his new house and he is resigned to the fact that this is his future. He’s come to the conclusion that he has to get on with the rest of his life and accepts he has to make the best of it.” During his visit, Andrew made arrangements for curtains to be measured and assessed ongoing renovations at the more modest property.
Recent sightings at Marsh Farm show workmen adding new security features like a 6-foot fence, with Sky technicians seen setting up broadband services at the location. Furthermore, a no-fly zone has been extended to encompass Marsh Farm, situated approximately seven miles away from the primary Sandringham House.
Although renovations at Marsh Farm are still in progress, Andrew is expected to reside temporarily at the nearby Wood Farm Cottage until the work at Marsh Farm is completed. The exact timing of his move to Norfolk remains uncertain, but there is speculation that he might return the key to Royal Lodge before his birthday on February 19.
The visit to his refurbished residence comes shortly after removal vans were observed at the Royal Lodge on January 14, indicating the final stages of his departure from the Windsor estate. Last October, Andrew was stripped of his titles and lease on Royal Lodge after public pressure mounted on King Charles to distance himself from Andrew due to his association with Epstein, despite Andrew’s denial of all allegations.
Buckingham Palace issued a statement at the time of Andrew’s title revocation, citing “serious lapses of judgment” on his part and expressing sympathy for abuse victims.
