It is believed the late Queen’s husband loved living at the cottage, which had plenty of outdoor space.
It also provided Philip peace and quiet to enjoy some of his favourite hobbies such as reading and watercolour painting – hobbies he enjoyed frequently after retiring from royal duty.
While Philip most likely could have used Sandringham House as his main abode during retirement, it is believed Wood Farm as it had a lack of formality which he liked.
The sudden move from Royal Lodge this week, which was believed to have happened under darkness, comes after Andrew appeared in yet more Epstein files last week. These files included emails between Andrew and Epstein, including an email where Andrew said he wanted to be the late convicted paedophile’s “pet”.
Following the latest release of the Epstein files last week, a second woman, who was in her 20s at the time, has come forward alleging that she was sent to the UK by Epstein. A Thames Valley police spokesperson said: “We are aware of reports about a woman said to have been taken to an address in Windsor in 2010 for sexual purposes. We are assessing the information in line with our established procedures.We take any reports of sexual crimes extremely seriously and encourage anyone with information to come forward. At this time, these allegations have not been reported to Thames Valley police by either the lawyer [of the woman] or their client.”
Andrew has previously always denied any wrongdoing or accusations against him.
