King Charles’ disgraced brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has finally relocated to his permanent new home on the Sandringham Estate
King Charles’ disgraced brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor had his royal titles and honours stripped in October 2025, and now he’s finally been banished to Marsh Farm on the Sandringham Estate. Andrew moved into the property on Easter Monday and has spent his first night at his permanent new home.
The disgraced royal has been pictured walking his dogs alone near the property. On Monday, members of his staff were seen driving his belongings into the farmhouse.

Ahead of his arrival, the five-bedroom property underwent extensive renovations, as well as new furnishings like carpets, and the stables outside were worked on to allow Andrew to bring his beloved horses.
The security was ramped up around the grounds of the previously empty farmhouse. To compensate for the property’s proximity to a public road, tradespeople have installed a six-foot perimeter fence, an extensive CCTV system, and security lights.
There was already a security breach at the property last week when protesters scaled the fence at his new Norfolk home to shout abuse at the 66-year-old. It has been reported that Andrew’s security was quick to defuse the scary situation, and the protestors then retreated back into their car and drove off.
A busy few weeks

It is believed his cherished items have included many grand paintings from his former home Royal Lodge. One extra special thing he’s been unable to take with him to Norfolk is the historic Wendy house, originally belonging to his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, which still stands in the grounds of his Windsor home.
Andrew has also been pictured on multiple occasions visiting the property to check on the renovations, casting an eye over the changes being made.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrest
The former Duke of York was arrested on his 66th birthday on 19 February at Wood Farm cottage in Sandringham and was held in custody at Aylsham Police Station for 11 hours. When he was finally released, Andrew travelled back to his temporary accommodation and that now-infamous picture of him slumped in the back of a car was taken.

What will happen to Andrew’s former home, Royal Lodge?
In February, Andrew left Royal Lodge behind for good. With Royal Lodge in a state of disrepair, it isn’t looking like royal family members are falling over themselves to nab the keys. Royal biographer, Andrew Lownie, who is the author of Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, told HELLO! what he thinks could happen to the 30-room mansion.
