Andrew’s move to Sandringham Estate

It comes after Charles’ brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has temporarily moved into Wood Farm Cottage on the Sandringham Estate. The disgraced royal was forced to leave Royal Lodge in Windsor this year amid renewed scrutiny over his links to late convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.

And while his permanent new home Marsh Farm undergoes renovations, Andrew is staying at the Sandringham Estate.

What’s more, following his move to Sandringham, staff have reportedly been given permission not to serve him if they don’t feel comfortable. According to The Sun, there is already “quite a list” of staff who’ve made it clear they don’t want to serve him.

The insider claimed: “They’ve been told they don’t have to serve Andrew or work for him if they feel uncomfortable. There is already quite a list saying no thanks. There is understandably a lot of disquiet as he is now a total pariah.

“But there is also a worry that once he gets comfortable at Wood Farm while Marsh Farm is being finished, they will never get him out again.”
