Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor ‘could be forced out of Norfolk home before Easter’

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor could be forced out of his temporary home on the Royal Family’s Norfolk estate ahead of schedule, experts suggest. The former duke was evicted from his Windsor property of more than two decades after fresh revelations about his relationship with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and moved to Wood Farm in Sandringham in February.

The farmhouse will only briefly host the King’s younger brother while renovations are completed on the nearby five-bedroom Marsh Farm, but his stay could be even shorter than anticipated – with a potential relocation in the next fortnight. Wood Farm has long been a popular holiday destination for extended members of the Royal Family looking to take a trip over the Easter period, according to reports.

Matt Wilkinson, royal editor at The Sun, said Andrew could be forced out early as a result, pointing to a flurry of recent activity at Marsh Farm, with removal vans seen delivering furniture and appliances to the two-storey property this week, some bearing the HRH moniker.

“The Royal Family use Wood Farm a lot and the Easter holidays are coming up, so there may be wider extended members of the family that would want to pop up for a holiday, a free holiday, basically, and want to use Wood Farm,” Mr Wilkinson told Hello! magazine’s A Right Royal Podcast.

“So Andrew’s got to get into Marsh Farm next door pretty sharpish,” he added. “They’ve put the gates up, these big security gates outside. They’ve been working around the clock for the last couple of weeks.”

The former Duke of York had reportedly planned to move into Marsh Farm by Easter, but Mr Wilkinson said the process could be sped up for the convenience of his relatives and to ensure he doesn’t get too “comfy”.

“We were told that we were to expect Andrew to be into his new final exile by Easter, which is the first weekend in April,” he said.

“But I have a sneaking suspicion he could be in even before that, because they want Wood Farm back. You know, the longer he’s there, the more comfy he gets.”

Andrew has kept a low profile since his arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office over his connections with Jeffrey Epstein, after which he was released under investigation.

He featured a number of times in the so-called Epstein files, including images of him bent over an unidentified female and lying across the laps of a number of women.

Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing over his association with Epstein.
