Ex-Prince Andrew is keeping a low profile as he prepares for a major change in his living situation. The former Duke of York was recently spotted out in Norfolk, giving a rare glimpse into his quieter routine in recent weeks. His appearance comes as reports suggest he is set to relocate to a new permanent residence soon. The sighting also follows a period of public scrutiny and ongoing developments surrounding his personal and legal circumstances.
Ex-Prince Andrew spotted driving around the Sandringham estate
Ex-Prince Andrew was seen driving through the Sandringham estate in Norfolk on Wednesday, appearing subdued during the outing. Photographs shared by the Daily Mail captured him behind the wheel of his Range Rover, accompanied by a security guard, as he made his way across the grounds. His demeanor appears to be “downcast,” with the former royal seemingly focused on his surroundings.
The sighting comes as Andrew is reportedly preparing to relocate to Marsh Farm. The modest property on the Sandringham estate is said to be undergoing final preparations. Builders have allegedly been adding modern features such as improved connectivity, enhanced security, and updated interiors. According to reports, the move could take place within weeks.
For now, Andrew is understood to be staying at Wood Farm, another residence on the estate, where he has been based since early February. During this period, several deliveries, including personal belongings, have reportedly been made to Marsh Farm.
His current circumstances follow a challenging period marked by large-scale controversy and a police investigation. Authorities have stated that Andrew was arrested in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The matter remains under investigation, and no conclusions have been formally reached.
Amid these developments, Andrew is expected to spend Easter in Norfolk rather than attending the Royal Family’s traditional gathering in Windsor. Reports also suggest that his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, may have made “alternative plans” this year. Notably, they are still considered part of the wider royal circle.
Recently, Andrew has also allegedly been spotted carrying out routine activities around the estate, like checking on nearby properties. One report even suggested he has taken an interest in a modest caravan installed on the grounds, which is said to be used for additional security arrangements.
