“FROM ROYAL LODGE TO MARSH FARM” — Prince Andrew’s Next Move Reignites Public Fury After years of mounting pressure and quiet palace maneuvering, Prince Andrew is reportedly being eased out of his sprawling Royal Lodge — but the outcome is raising fresh eyebrows.
Everything we know about Andrew Windsor’s new Marsh Farm home
After years of pressure from both the British public and his monarch brother, disgraced former-Prince Andrew is leaving Royal Lodge.
His new abode, however, is hardly symbolic of his fall from grace, as Marsh Farm is still home to two reception rooms and stables.
Since the extent of his ties to billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein have been revealed, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been pushed to move out of Royal Lodge, a 30-bedroom Georgian mansion in Windsor.
Although the former Duke was stripped of all of his titles, it came to light he had not paid rent on the property, with a copy of the lease showing he paid ‘one peppercorn (if demanded)’ per year since 2003.
Andrew, a dad-of-two, was offeredFrogmore Cottage which has been vacant since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle vacated the property.
But he reportedly refused as it was ‘not grand enough for a prince’.

Now Marsh Farm in Sandrigham has been announced as his new permanent home – and he will be paying the cost, according to the BBC.
What do we know about Marsh Farm?
Images show the building to be a red-brick cottage on the royal estate in Norfolk.
It contains a kitchen and two reception rooms, including outbuildings and stables.
The home also has access to and is surrounded by Sandringham Estate, which covers 20,000 acres in Norfolk.
Andrew is reportedly still fighting to retain his staff. Meanwhile it is unclear what will happen to Sarah Ferguson who has continued to live at Royal Lodge.
Builders have been pictured at Marsh Farm, with reports of pest control also working on the grounds.
The latest Epstein files drop showed Andrew shows him leaning over what appears to be a young woman lying on the floor.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer has urged Mountbatten-Windsor to testify before a congressional committee in the US over his dealings with Epstein.
Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing.
