He is expected to relocate to Marsh Farm on the Sandringham estate, situated roughly two miles from King Charles’ own residence at Sandringham House. For the time being, however, he is staying at Wood Farm cottage on the same estate.
Sources suggest that his change in circumstances will extend beyond his address. Andrew is reportedly preparing to handle more everyday responsibilities himself — including, for what one insider described as the “first time ever”, answering his own front door.
As quoted by The Sun, one source said: “People who have been with him for years are off. It will likely be a skeleton staff at best.
“It’s possible for the first time in his life he will have to open the front door to people himself.”
Staffing Challenges and Resistance
Another insider explained that staff departures were linked to the handover of Royal Lodge.
“Because the lease to Royal Lodge was handed back, they also lost their homes.
“They were offered far smaller accommodation. But no one wanted to go to Sandringham to work for him. It’s in the middle of nowhere.”
