Ex-Prince Andrew's Temporary Home, Wood Farm, Has a Tragic Past Connected to Queen Elizabeth's "Lost Prince" Uncle

The entrance to Wood Farm at Sandringham.

Now that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has officially left Royal Lodge, he's had to find a temporary living situation until the repairs are complete at his new home, Marsh Farm. The disgraced former Duke of York is now staying at Wood Farm, another property on The King's private Sandringham estate, and the house has a deeply sad history.

Wood Farm was where Prince Philip spent the final years of his life, and the five-bedroom farmhouse is a relaxed country cottage with views out to the sea. Royals like Princess Diana and Princess Kate have escaped from the press at the Norfolk retreat, but Wood Farm was once home to Queen Elizabeth's uncle, Prince John, who died at the age of just 13.
