When Andrew Mountbatten Windsor leaves Royal Lodge, he’s expected to move into a home on King Charles’s Norfolk estate

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, has been forced out of his home at Royal Lodge in Windsor and will have to make do with a place on the royal family’s Sandringham estate in Norfolk – paid for by his brother.

The move is expected to take place “as soon as practicable” after his public life as a royal was effectively ended by King Charles. His ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, will also move out of Royal Lodge and will sort her own living arrangements.

Sandringham was bought in 1862 by the then Prince of Wales, who later became Edward VII, as a private country retreat, and the house was rebuilt in 1870 to ensure it was big enough for his growing family.

Its vast surrounding estate includes 6,475 hectares (16,000 acres) of farmland, 1,416 hectares (3,500 acres) of woodland and 150 properties.
