Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's Marsh Farm

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, has left the 30-room Royal Lodge on the Windsor estate and is relocating to far more modest quarters at Marsh Lodge (often reported as Marsh Farm) on the Sandringham estate. The move follows years of scandal linked to his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which led to the loss of his royal titles, the stripping of official duties, and mounting pressure from King Charles III to vacate his longtime residence.

Recent reporting indicates that Andrew’s departure was accelerated by fresh Epstein-related documents and renewed scrutiny, prompting him to leave Royal Lodge and take up temporary accommodation, at the adjacent Wood Farm Cotage, on the Sandringham estate while renovations continue at the smaller Marsh property. Once a grand grace-and-favour mansion he had occupied for more than two decades, Royal Lodge symbolized his former royal status; the shift to a comparatively modest farm residence is widely viewed as a stark personal and institutional downgrade, reflecting the long-term fallout from the Epstein scandal.

is a modest former working farmhouse on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, several miles from the main Sandringham House and near the village of Wolferton. The red-brick property, once occupied by a tenant farmer, is said to include about five bedrooms, a kitchen, two reception rooms, and a collection of outbuildings and stables, all set within low-lying farmland near marshy ground. Unlike the grand royal residences elsewhere on the estate, it has been described in recent reports as relatively small, somewhat run-down, and in need of extensive renovations before it is fully habitable, making it a far more utilitarian, rural dwelling than the palatial homes traditionally associated with senior members of the royal family.
