Moving to Marsh Farm "Hasn't Gone Down Well" For Ex-Prince Andrew, Especially the Home's "Lack" of One "Suitable" Feature

As Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor prepares to downsize from his 30-room home, Royal Lodge, sources are claiming that his imminent move to the Sandringham estate isn't necessarily going as planned. The former Duke of York was evicted from Royal Lodge in October after King Charles stripped his brother of his titles. Now, Andrew is set to move into a small property in Norfolk that's in need of significant renovations.

"He really didn't want Marsh Farm," a source told the Daily Mail. "Andrew won't have lived anywhere that small since he left his apartment at Buckingham Palace—and then he had free roam of the building and grounds when he needed space." Per the outlet, it's understood that the former Duke of York would "prefer" Prince Philip's former residence, Wood Farm—a larger property on the Sandringham estate—but that idea was taken off the table as "inappropriate."
