The King, 77, is said to be keen for his brother to move into Marsh Farm on the Sandringham estate, with an “interim house” being used prior to his permanent move. Despite major works seen to be taking place at the five-bedroom home, it is understood that Andrew’s move there may now be in doubt.
As well as the former Duke of York reportedly said to be unhappy with the security arrangements in place for Marsh Farm, reports of a mole problem within the grounds are also said to be a reason the home may now not be an option for Andrew.
According to The Times, the problem now means that the King may be forced to relent and find another property for his brother at Sandringham.
The 65-year-old has reportedly visited Marsh Farm, with the property not said to have impressed him.
A source reportedly said: “It was the first time he’s seen his new house and he is resigned to the fact that this is his future.
“He’s come to the conclusion that he has to get on with the rest of his life and accepts he has to make the best of it.”
Speaking of the Sandringham estate, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams previously shared that he believes that it was the right move by King Charles to let Andrew reside in Norfolk.
Speaking to GB News, Mr Fitzwilliams said: “I think it was only reasonable [for Andrew to stay in Sandringham], given the circumstances, he had to stay somewhere.”
Adding a reason behind the choice of move, he added: “That’s one way of, in a sense, controlling him.”
