Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor could be left temporarily homeless after his disgraced exit from the royal fold because a new home in Norfolk “may not be ready” in time to receive him. The former Duke of York was exiled from his 30-bed Windsor estate last year after years of controversy surrounding his friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Reports suggest he will vacate Royal Lodge, where he has lived since 2003, by this Easter, with plans to relocate to a private property on King Charles’s Sandringham estate in Norfolk. The plans could meet a snag, however, because of ongoing work at the five-bedroom Marsh Farm, which “needs much more work done before it’s ready to be lived in, potentially leaving Andrew without a place to stay for a short while”, according to Hello!.
Royal commentators think it’s unlikely the Queen’s youngest son will be allowed to stay in Windsor during the interrim period. “The royals are hoping to draw a line under the Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor controversy in 2026,” biographer Robert Jobson said. “Whether it ends the lurid speculation about him, only time will tell, but it is doubtful.”
