Prince Edward, 62, and his wife Sophie were compelled to stay in a nearby cottage at Sandringham during the Easter holiday due to reports that his brother, Andrew, is unwilling to vacate his current residence. Sources indicate that the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh had intended to occupy Wood Farm, situated on the expansive 20,000-acre estate, but were instead redirected to Gardens House.
According to reports, Prince Edward visited Andrew to discuss his anticipated move to the adjacent Marsh House, amid concerns that Andrew is delaying the transition. An insider revealed, “Andrew was evicted from Royal Lodge at Windsor but now has two homes at his disposal. He is just going back and forth between Wood Farm and Marsh Farm. It’s got to be sorted as Edward and Sophie like to use Wood Farm.”
Current Living Arrangements of Prince Andrew
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is currently residing at Wood Farm following his eviction from the Royal Lodge earlier this year. This arrangement is temporary while significant renovations are underway at his permanent residence, Marsh Farm, also located on the Sandringham Estate. Last month, movers were seen transporting Andrew’s belongings, including artwork and books, into his new home.
It is believed that Andrew will finalize his move to Marsh Farm in the coming days, as preparations are nearing completion. Gardens House, where Edward and Sophie stayed, can cost as much as £4,110 per week during peak season and was previously the home of the estate’s head gardener. The cottage can accommodate up to eight guests and is located approximately 300 yards from Sandringham House.
Security Incidents at Marsh Farm
Security concerns arose recently when a red vehicle was observed stopping outside Andrew’s new permanent residence at Marsh Farm. Two individuals exited the car and attempted to scale the exterior gate, trying to look over a newly installed 6-foot fence surrounding the farmhouse. However, they did not linger, as Andrew’s security team swiftly intervened, resolving the situation before the individuals retreated to their vehicle and departed.
As the situation develops, the dynamics between the royal family members continue to attract public interest.
