\n

He was whisked away to Norfolk from Windsor back in February after disturbing details about his relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein emerged in the latest tranche of documents released by the US. He\u2019s always denied any wrongdoing. Last week, Andrew received his first royal visitor, his brother Prince Edward, for a \u201cquiet word\u201d before the Easter holidays.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This week, it was reported that the disgraced royal spent his first night in Marsh Farm on Easter Monday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

After Andrew\u2019s move to Norfolk back in February, a journalist visited the site around the two accommodation options and delivered a brutal verdict on the surroundings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Mirror\u2019<\/a>s Julia Banim said the area leading up to the Sandringham Estate in Wolferton is \u201cundoubtedly eerie\u201d and is plagued by a particular stench and paints a \u201cparticularly bleak\u201d picture of his new life in exile.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She explained: \u201cThis isn’t a place where you’ll find rows of quaint pubs and charming independent shops. Even Wolferton Railway Station, opened in 1862 upon Queen Victoria’s purchase of the Sandringham House site, stands silent and still. No train has passed here since the ’60s, the days of Andrew’s charmed childhood as the apple of his mother’s eye.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Ms Banim visited Marsh Farm, which allegedly caught her by surprise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She said: \u201cIt looks like the pleasant, red brick home of a well-to-do middle-class businessman, not the favourite son of Britain’s longest serving monarch.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, the journalist wrote about how there is \u201clittle in the way of privacy\u201d and noted that a certain smell surprised her, saying: \u201cThe garden has a neglected sleepiness about it, and the smell of wet mud takes me aback.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She added that there are signs the place is being fortified with new security systems in place for the disgraced duke\u2019s arrival and security.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She concluded: \u201cBy all accounts, this gloomy new residence certainly paints a bleak picture of Andrew’s new life in relative exile.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
