Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's new abode doesn't look very welcoming as driveway blighted with unfortunate issue
Apparently Andrew's home isn't as plush as Royal Lodge
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is reportedly unimpressed about moving into his new Sandringham home after being evicted from Royal Lodge – and that isn’t so surprising considering the latest reports.
Apparently, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s new abode isn’t very welcoming. The driveway looks to have a considerable issue.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s home needs even more work
Andrew left Royal Lodge recently amid renewed scrutiny over his links to late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. While his reported permanent new home, Marsh Farm, undergoes renovations, Andrew is staying in a temporary property on the Sandringham Estate.
Meanwhile, eagle-eyed observers are judging Andrew’s new pad.
And by the looks of things, it doesn’t look quite as lavish as his former sprawling mansion.
Buckingham Palace confirmed in October last year that Andrew’s royal titles and honours were being removed amid scrutiny over his association with Epstein.
Andrew was also accused of sexual assault. The late Virginia Giuffre alleged she was made to sleep with Andrew on three separate occasions when she was 17 after being trafficked by Epstein.
Andrew has continued to vehemently deny these claims.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor ‘kicked out’ of Royal Lodge
Following the loss of his titles, it was confirmed that Andrew would move out of his fancy Windsor property, Royal Lodge.
Although he had lived there since 2004, it turned out that the home was still property of the crown, meaning the palace could decide on Andrew’s housing fate.
Andrew’s new home is reportedly on the king’s Sandringham Estate in Norfolk.
The five-bedroom abode, Marsh Farm, is located two miles west of Sandringham House.
Everything we know about Marsh Farm so far
It is quite a downgrade compared to Royal Lodge, which features around 30 rooms, seven of which are bedrooms.
In January, it was reported that significant renovation work was needed on Marsh Farm before Andrew could properly call it his home.
Six-foot high security fences have reportedly been put up around the property and a no flight zone has been extended to cover the grounds, presenting the likes of drones invading Andrew’s privacy.
Elsewhere, it seems another issue has cropped up. It looks like the driveway needs some attention.
Marsh Farm faces another issue
Recent pictures taken outside of Marsh Farm show signage to the property is surrounded by a road laden with potholes.
And because of the weather, these holes are muddied and brimming with rain water.
According to reports, unwanted dampness may be a common issue with the home, given it sits on a flood plain.
A Command Pest Control van, which boasts a Royal Warrant, has also been seen nearby the property.
According to the company, it carries out “humane rodent control”.
This includes dealing with the removal of unwanted rats, mice, squirrels and wasp nests.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s early moving date
Earlier this month, it was claimed that Andrew was sent packing from Royal Lodge earlier than planned.
His exit came following the release of more Epstein files.
On January 30, more than three million files relating to Epstein and his crimes were released by the US Department of Justice.
In the files, images appeared to show Andrew kneeling on all fours over an unidentified female lying on the ground.
No context has been supplied for the images. It’s also unclear when and where they were taken. Andrew’s team are yet to comment.
Just days after the files were released to the public, Andrew vacated Royal Lodge.
