Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor Offered Temporary New Home as Royal Lodge Exit Nears

Former senior royal Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor, who earlier lost his title and has been ordered to leave Royal Lodge, is reportedly being offered short-term accommodation on part of the Sandringham Estate as part of preparations for his relocation. This development comes ahead of a broader transition from the Windsor property he has occupied for more than two decades.

According to recent reports, renovation work is underway at Marsh Farm, a smaller property on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, which is expected to become Andrew’s future residence once complete. Before that new home is ready, sources say he has been offered a temporary place to stay on Sandringham grounds to help accelerate his departure from Royal Lodge.

The former royal has lived at Royal Lodge, a Grade II listed house in Windsor Great Park, for about 20 years; this arrangement has been set to end after King Charles III withdrew his predecessor’s residency rights and titles in late 2025.

Renovations at Marsh Farm reportedly include new fencing, satellite service installation and general refurbishments to make the property suitable for residence. While the exact timeline remains unclear, some reports suggest Andrew could relocate to the temporary accommodation and ultimately into the Norfolk home before Easter 2026 or potentially around his 66th birthday in February.

This planned transition is part of a broader process tied to the reshaping of Andrew’s role and status within the extended royal family. Following high-profile controversies and the stripping of his official titles in 2025, the adjustments in his living situation reflect ongoing changes in his public and private life.

While details about the temporary housing — including its exact location and amenities — have not been officially confirmed by Buckingham Palace, multiple reports from British media outlets indicate that the move is intended to smooth the logistical challenges of vacating Royal Lodge and settling into a more modest property on the Sandringham estate.

The former prince’s departure from his long-term residence brings an end to one chapter of his life within the monarchy and marks a significant moment in the ongoing evolution of the royal household’s internal dynamics.
