Inside Royal Lodge and Wood Farm: Ex-prince Andrew's properties searched by cops
India Today
Thames Valley Police are searching properties in Berkshire and Norfolk linked to the former prince after his arrest -- including Royal Lodge in Berkshire, where he lived for more than two decades, and Sandringham in Norfolk, where he now lives on the King's estate.
Former prince and King Charles III’s younger brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, was arrested in a probe into suspected misconduct in public office, linked to allegations he shared confidential information with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during his time as a UK trade envoy.
Thames Valley Police are searching properties in Berkshire and Norfolk linked to the former prince after his arrest -- including Royal Lodge in Berkshire, where he lived for more than two decades, and Sandringham in Norfolk, where he now lives on the King’s estate.
Photographs of unmarked police cars and plainclothes officers at Wood Farm on the Norfolk's Sandringham estate, where Andrew now lives, were published on Thursday.
For more than two decades, Royal Lodge served as Andrew’s main home, shared with his then-wife Sarah Ferguson even after their divorce. Set within 98 acres of the Windsor Estate, about three miles from Windsor Castle, the 30-room mansion had been his residence since 2003. But by January this year, he was forced to leave amid the continuing fallout from his links to Jeffrey Epstein.
Andrew moved into Royal Lodge in 2003 after signing a 75-year lease with the Crown Estate following the death of the Queen Mother, who had lived there for half a century. He paid a one-off £1 million for the lease and later spent about £7.5 million refurbishing the 30-room house and its 98-acre grounds.
The estate hosted private events, including Princess Eugenie’s wedding reception in 2018, and remained closely associated with Andrew’s identity as Duke of York.
