Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip had several palatial residences at their disposal: Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Balmoral, Sandringham, just to name a few. One of their favorite places to spend their days was a comparatively modest farmhouse on the Sandringham estate, called Wood Farm.
"They adored the simplicity of what Wood Farm represented," a royal courtier revealed to the Daily Mail. "For the Duke, it was the light which he thought was perfect to paint by, and the proximity to the sea only a couple of miles away,” the courtier shared, while the late “Queen likes the unfussiness—the sense of getting away from it all and being able to slip out for a walk with the dogs whenever she likes."
