The former prince has positioned a large temporary lodging next to his Norfolk home of Marsh Farm, just days after he broke his cover for the first time since his arrest
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has installed a huge mobile home on the Sandringham grounds, right next to his new home of Marsh Farm. The large portable home has been placed next to a barn on the King’s Norfolk estate, just days after the former prince was spotted for the first time since his arrest.
The large home was delivered to Sandringham on the back of a lorry on Monday morning and placed in the back garden of Marsh Farm. It is not yet known what the home will be used for, but it is possible it will become an office for Andrew’s staff.

The mobile home may act as staff quarters given there is likely no spare room in his new home, which is significantly smaller than his previous home of Royal Lodge.
Featuring white panelling on the outside and large windows with the blinds drawn, the mobile home is of modest size, and could be used for either offices or for accommodation.
The delivery of the unusual mobile home comes just days after Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was spotted for the first time since he was released from police custody following his arrest over four weeks ago. The disgraced former Duke of York was seen close to his new home of Marsh Farm on Saturday, walking his dogs with security.
Mountbatten-Windsor had been holed up in his isolated temporary home of Wood Farm on the King’s vast estate since dramatic images showed him slouched in the back of a car leaving Aylsham Police Station in Norfolk, where he was taken following his arrest on his 66th birthday on suspicion of misconduct in a public office.
Thames Valley Police confirmed the former prince had been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office in February following allegations arising out of the release of millions of pages of files related to paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew has always vigorously denied any wrongdoing.
Earlier this week, removal vans specialising in transporting fine art were spotted at Marsh Farm on the King’s estate, where Mountbatten-Windsor is believed to be moving to permanently.
On Tuesday, three large lorries from Gander & White – an art logistics company with a royal warrant – were seen arriving at the property, near Wolferton, believed to be carrying paintings.
While on Friday, boxes labelled ‘HRH’ were seen being carried into Marsh Farm by removals men. Andrew was stripped from using his HRH title by the late Queen in 2022, when his military titles and royal patronages were returned to the monarch. In October, he was stripped of his prince and Duke of York titles by King Charles.
For several months, Marsh Farm has been undergoing major renovations to prepare for Andrew’s arrival. In January engineers from Sky were seen scaling ladders installing what is thought to be TV and broadband ready for the former prince to move in.
Electricians were also spotted working at the property with extra security, including CCTV, also installed. It is around seven miles from the main Sandringham House and a no-fly zone over the royal estate has been extended to include the home.
