The place would possibly Andrew dwell on the Sandringham property?

Newly stripped of his “prince” title, Andrew is transferring from his Windsor mansion, Royal Lodge, to the Sandringham property in Norfolk, it’s understood.

Formal discover was given to give up the lease on the Royal Lodge on Thursday, and the transfer will happen as quickly as attainable.

The historic, sprawling property spans roughly 31 sq miles (80 sq km) of gardens – making it across the identical measurement as Nottingham or Brighton and Hove.

It was purchased as a personal nation retreat for the long run Edward VII when he was Albert, Prince of Wales in 1862, and has since been handed down from monarch to monarch.

The property itself covers a number of residential villages and hamlets, and consists of 15 sq miles (40 sq km) of farmland.

The fundamental constructing – Sandringham House – is assumed to have greater than 100 rooms, together with a ballroom.

It stays a rustic retreat for the Royal Family and is the place they historically collect at Christmas.

Sandringham is a personal property – not an official royal residence – and it’s understood the King will probably be privately funding Andrew’s lodging there, and that it’s going to not be straight funded by the taxpayer.

The Palace has not but mentioned precisely the place on the property Andrew will dwell, or when he may transfer.

But royal sources have mentioned it is not going to be rapid, and as a substitute be “as soon as possible and practicable”.

Here is a take a look at a few of the choices on the property.

Originally often known as Bachelor’s Cottage, York Cottage is a couple of quarter of a mile from the primary home.

It has its personal set of stables and kennel buildings, in line with Historic England, and overlooks one in all two man-made lakes on the property.

There had been experiences forward of Prince Harry’s marriage to the Duchess of Sussex that the pair may need been gifted the usage of York Cottage by Elizabeth II to be used as a rustic house, however no such plan was ever confirmed and the transfer by no means materialised.

It has reportedly been used as an workplace and lodging for employees in recent times.

The birthplace of Diana, Princess of Wales and her childhood house, Park House was rented by the Spencer household for a few years.

In 1983 it was gifted to Leonard Cheshire, a incapacity charity, which used it to run a 16-bedroom resort for the disabled, their carers and household.

The charity deliberate a £2.3m refurbishment earlier than the pandemic hit, however introduced in 2020 it will not go forward with the proposal and mentioned as a substitute that it was working with the Sandringham property to exit the lease.

Another possibility is the Gardens House, which was as soon as the residence of the top gardener on the Sandringham property.

The Edwardian home has six bedrooms and three loos, is dog-friendly and is one in all two properties on the property obtainable to most people as a vacation let.

Its grounds maintain a working sawmill and natural farm.

It was put on the market in July at a weekly value of £4,110. It isn’t uncommon for royal residences to hire out property to holidaymakers – with eight cottages and lodges obtainable for rent at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.

Another risk is The Folly – a three-bedroom, two-bathroom lodge constructed within the 1800s.

Complete with a turret and a wraparound balcony, it has been used as a searching lodge and a spot to take afternoon tea.

Also listed as a vacation let to the general public, it’s mentioned to have room for six visitors – a change from the 30-room Windsor mansion Andrew will probably be vacating.

Given the lodge’s “grandeur”, Majesty Magazine’s managing editor Joe Little instructed the BBC earlier this 12 months, there’s a “a heightened awareness that the privately owned royal estates are actively striving to bolster” the Royal Family’s income streams.

This is one possibility that’s understood to have been dominated out.

The farmhouse, described as “small and intimate” by former housekeeper Teresa Thompson, has sturdy associations with Andrew’s mother and father.

His father, the late Duke of Edinburgh, selected the secluded property as his everlasting house when he retired from public life in 2017.

He and the late Queen already frequently stayed there as opposed to opening up Sandringham House when it was simply the 2 of them.

Anmer Hall was gifted to the Prince of Wales and Catherine, Princess of Wales as a marriage current by the late queen in 2013 – so this can be an unlikely selection.

They spend a lot of the college holidays within the 10-bedroom, Grade II*-listed home, which is about 2 miles (3km) east of the primary Sandringham home.

The Georgian property dates again to about 1802, however some elements are a lot older – and it has fashioned a part of the Sandringham property since 1898.
