Ex-Prince Andrew is preparing to move from Royal Lodge in the coming weeks, but sources insist the change is not a harsh exile. Insiders describe the transition as one focused on security, privacy, and maintaining familiar comforts, framing it as a comfortable, 'gilded retirement' rather than a punishment.
He is expected to relocate temporarily to a Sandringham Estate residence before moving into the renovated Marsh Farm. Despite downsizing, his new arrangement will reportedly include ongoing security, household staff, and access to leisure activities like golf and horse riding on the royal grounds.
Sources say Andrew has remained calm about the move, provided these essentials are secured. Technicians have allegedly installed high-speed internet at the new property. Insiders note his daily routine of watching TV, reading, and playing video games is unlikely to change significantly, with one stating the move 'does little to alter the day-to-day rhythm of his life.'
