The former prince moved to Sandringham last monthAndrew Mountbatten-Windsor has reportedly installed a mobile home for his staff in Sandringham.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s ‘gesture’ to staff in Sandringham
HELLO! reports that the mobile home was placed in his back garden at Marsh Farm on the Sandringham Estate.
The publication claims that it’s intended for use by his security staff as there is no longer room in the property itself.
Removal vans were reportedly seen beside the new mobile home on Monday morning.
Marsh Farm has five bedrooms, a lot different to Royal Lodge’s total of 30 rooms.
Andrew temporarily lives at Wood Farm, also on the Sandringham Estate, while Marsh Farm undergoes renovations.

Marsh Farm will become his permanent residence. Reports claim he could move into his new home in April.
Royal Insider has contacted reps for Andrew for comment.
Controversy for Andrew amid new Sandringham home
Andrew left Royal Lodge, a property he had lived at since 2004, and moved to Sandringham last month.
But the scandal surrounding Andrew has followed him to his new home. On February 19, his 66th birthday, police arrived on the Sandringham Estate and arrested Andrew.
Police arrested Andrew on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Hours after his arrest, police released him under investigation.
It is extraordinary he chose to use the Queen’s name in his defence.
His arrest came just weeks after the US Department of Justice’s release of millions of files relating to Epstein and his crimes.
Within these files, emails allegedly showed Andrew appearing to share confidential and sensitive information with Epstein in 2010 during his role as UK’s trade envoy.
Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein. Being named or pictured in the files is not an indication of wrongdoing.
Andrew’s ‘reaction’ to leaving Royal Lodge
Elsewhere, according to reports last month, Andrew apparently had an outburst over his move to Royal Lodge.
A source reportedly told The Sun: “[Andrew] refused to leave or take any responsibility.
“When he was told to get out he was so arrogant and deluded he repeatedly shouted, ‘But I’m the Queen’s second son, you can’t do this to me.'”
The insider called it “extraordinary” that Andrew chose to “use the Queen’s name in his defence”.
Royal Insider contacted reps for Andrew for comment on these claims at the time.
