URGENT UPDATE: Ex-Prince Andrew is set to relocate from his longtime residence at Royal Lodge to a dilapidated farm property, according to multiple reports. This significant change comes as part of a broader reshuffle within the royal household, which has been under intense scrutiny.
The new residence, Marsh Farm, is located just seven miles west of King Charles III’s Sandringham House. Sources reveal that the property, once a working farm, is in dire need of repairs and renovations. Insiders from The Sun indicate that the farm requires an “awful lot of work” before it can be deemed livable.
Marsh Farm features a main house that includes two reception rooms, a kitchen, and several outbuildings, all of which are reportedly in poor condition. The property is nestled in scenic countryside, overlooking Dersingham Bog, but does not appear to be move-in ready.
Concerns regarding privacy and security may influence Andrew’s move to Marsh Farm, which falls within a recently expanded no-fly zone. The proximity to local businesses, including an ironworks and a quad bike company, has also raised eyebrows among royal observers.
Andrew, stripped of his titles of Duke and Prince, faces mounting pressure to vacate Royal Lodge, despite having a long-term lease. Reports suggest he must fully move out by the end of October 2023. However, logistical challenges and the current state of Marsh Farm may delay this timeline. Sources confirm that some of his possessions have already been moved to storage.
Meanwhile, Andrew’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, is reportedly searching for separate accommodations. Palace insiders have stated that no firm date has been established for Andrew’s relocation, and with Marsh Farm still in disrepair, the wait for a move may extend.
This developing story underscores the ongoing complications surrounding royal property arrangements and the challenges faced by ex-Prince Andrew as he seeks to establish a new home.
