Philip lived at Wood Farm until the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, when he moved to Windsor Castle to join the Queen during lockdown.
Andrew’s Move and the Future at Marsh Farm
Prince Andrew’s current stay at Wood Farm is expected to be temporary. Reports indicate he will eventually relocate to another property on the Sandringham estate known as Marsh Farm, once renovations are completed.
The red-brick cottage reportedly includes five bedrooms, reception rooms, outbuildings and stables. Builders have also been seen installing security upgrades such as fencing, CCTV systems and improvements to electrical and sewage infrastructure.
The Sandringham estate itself is privately owned by King Charles III, who is believed to be covering the costs associated with Andrew’s new accommodation.
Leaving Royal Lodge Behind
Andrew’s move follows his departure from Royal Lodge, where he had lived for many years.
Sources claim the transition was difficult for the Duke of York, as the property held numerous family memories. Reports also suggest he left quietly to avoid public attention during a period of renewed scrutiny surrounding documents linked to the Jeffrey Epstein case.
