The move follows Andrew’s departure from Royal Lodge, a residence he had occupied for two decades. The Duke of York, now 65, has faced renewed public scrutiny in recent months, particularly concerning his past association with Jeffrey Epstein.
Local reactions to Andrew’s arrival
According to The Mirror, several Sandringham residents shared candid opinions about their new neighbour.
One local commented that while Sandringham itself remains beloved, Andrew’s presence has stirred strong feelings. Another resident reportedly voiced frustration, expressing the belief that justice should take its course.
A taxi driver, also quoted in the publication, suggested that responsibility for Andrew’s controversies should not extend to other members of the Royal Family. The driver added that the monarchy should not bear the burden of Andrew’s personal situation.
Adjusting to a quieter life
Alongside public reaction, reports indicate Andrew may be struggling to adapt to his new surroundings.
