Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is set to leave Royal Lodge by his birthday next month
King Charles has reportedly offered his brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, a temporary new residence in an attempt to move him out of Royal Lodge. Andrew, aged 65, is rumoured to be leaving Royal Lodge by his 66th birthday in February, with other sources suggesting he will have a permanent home by Easter.
Following the interim relocation, Andrew is expected to settle into a property on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk. No additional information about the temporary accommodation has been disclosed.
Marsh Farm is said to be the future permanent residence for Andrew, with refurbishments reportedly already in progress.
The property has allegedly been unoccupied for a while, requiring updates including enhancements to its security features.
Six-foot wooden fences are being erected, along with a CCTV system, reports the Express.
The process of relocating Andrew from Royal Lodge has reportedly taken two years, with the scandal-ridden Royal previously telling friends, “It can be done tidily or untidily. It can be done with grace and dignity or it can be thrust upon him”.
Speaking about his younger brother, who is 11 years his junior, the King is reported to have been “worn thin” by Andrew.
Regarding the temporary dwelling, a source told The Sun: “The snow or rain hasn’t delayed the work on Marsh Farm, but it still needs a lot of attention to make it habitable.
“But one thing for sure is that it is a lot, lot smaller and less luxurious than Royal Lodge.”
Andrew was divested of his title, honours and styles at the close of last year by King Charles. This occurred amidst escalating sex allegations and his association with the late US convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
