"Andrew will move to an undisclosed property on the King's Sandringham estate, with the accommodation privately funded by the King, who will also make private financial provisions for his brother. The former duke had a cast-iron lease for his Royal Lodge home and only after negotiations with the King's representatives did he agree to serve formal notice on Thursday to surrender the lease, which had more than 50 years left to run."
"But the process around surrendering the lease and other formalities has some similarities with buying a property, which can be drawn out, although it is understood things are moving as quickly as practicable. It has been reported Andrew will not be moving to Wood Farm on the Sandringham estate, the property favoured by the late Queen and her husband the Duke of Edinburgh who preferred its cosy surroundings to the main Sandringham House."
Prince Andrew will relocate to an undisclosed property on the King's Sandringham estate with accommodation privately funded by the King, who will also make private financial provisions for his brother. Andrew surrendered a cast-iron lease on Royal Lodge after negotiations with the King's representatives despite more than 50 years remaining on the lease. The surrender process and related formalities resemble a property purchase and can be drawn out, though matters are proceeding as quickly as practicable. Andrew will not move to Wood Farm; alternative properties include Park House and York Cottage. Sarah Ferguson will not be housed by Charles and must find a new home. Concerns about Andrew's association with Jeffrey Epstein influenced the decision to strip honours, given its impact on royal work supporting abuse survivors.
