Prince Andrew, now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, has vacated his long-time residence at Royal Lodge in Windsor and relocated to the Sandringham estate in Norfolk.
The move, described as occurring “under the cover of darkness” late on February 2, marks a significant step in the royal family’s efforts to limit his profile following a “flood” of fresh controversy linked to Jeffrey Epstein.
The Relocation: From Royal Lodge to Marsh Farm
Andrew departed Royal Lodge – the 30-room mansion he has leased since 2003 – ahead of his 66th birthday later this month. He is currently settling into temporary accommodation, reportedly at Wood Farm, while renovations continue at his intended permanent residence, Marsh Farm.
-
The Eviction: Formal notice to surrender the lease was served in late 2025 by King Charles III, following the stripping of Andrew’s royal titles and honors.
-
Downsizing: Marsh Farm is described as a more modest, five-bedroom farmhouse on the King’s private estate, signaling a “gilded retirement” away from the public eye.
-
Security: New measures, including a six-foot fence and increased police presence, have already been established around the Norfolk property.
Renewed Legal and Scrutiny Pressure
The acceleration of the move stems from heightened scrutiny following the release of over 3 million documents by the U.S. Department of Justice in late January 2026.
-
New Allegations: A second woman has alleged she was trafficked by Epstein to the UK for a sexual encounter with Andrew at Royal Lodge in 2010. She also claims to have been given a tour of Buckingham Palace afterward.
-
Police Review: Thames Valley Police (responsible for the Windsor area) and the Metropolitan Police are assessing these fresh claims, though no formal criminal investigation has been confirmed.
-
Political Pressure: Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated that Mountbatten-Windsor “should be prepared” to give evidence to the U.S. Congress regarding his links with Epstein.
Status of Royal Titles and Family Impact
The ongoing scandal has led to the complete removal of Andrew’s HRH style and “Prince” title by Letters Patent in November 2025.
