Andrew Windsor is back in the shadows — and the details coming out of his temporary setup are not flattering.
Insiders claim the 66-year-old royal exile is spending his days in what one source called a “slobby, childish” routine while staying at Wood Farm, the modest Sandringham retreat where Prince Philip spent his final years. The low-key hideaway is said to be a stopgap while renovations continue at Marsh Farm, the smaller property expected to become his long-term base.
The move is being framed as yet another lifestyle downgrade after Andrew was pushed out of Royal Lodge — the sprawling, high-status residence he occupied for years.
Now, instead of a grand royal address, he’s reportedly tucked away on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, far from cameras and public life.
While Andrew is said to be keeping a low profile at Wood Farm, activity at Marsh Farm has reportedly ramped up.
In recent weeks, contractors have been seen arriving at the property as refurbishment work continues ahead of an expected move next month. Sources say multiple firms have been photographed on site, including flooring companies that have worked on major royal properties in the past.
People familiar with the estate say Marsh Farm — renovated or not — doesn’t come close to the scale or prestige of Andrew’s previous home.
One source described the contrast as impossible to miss, arguing the new place is far more “modest and functional” than the type of residence Andrew lived in for decades. The implication: the smaller footprint reflects just how far his standing has fallen.
A “huffy teenager” routine behind closed doors?
And then there’s the day-to-day.
According to one palace-connected insider, Andrew’s routine at Wood Farm has become increasingly limited — and allegedly increasingly bleak. The source claimed he spends long stretches wandering around in pajamas, skipping showers, eating, and passing the time with video games and Netflix while keeping to himself.
The same insider painted the vibe as “huffy teenager-style,” suggesting he’s withdrawn and lethargic, with little structure beyond a screen and a sofa.
Restricted movements and whispers of “unofficial house arrest”
Sources also claim Andrew’s movements on the estate are tightly controlled right now.
One insider alleged he’s largely confined to Wood Farm, with clear limits on how freely he can come and go. Sightings are said to be rare, and his circle reportedly small — mostly staff and a handful of close contacts.
Some have even described it as an “unofficial house arrest” arrangement, alleging an understanding with King Charles in which Andrew stays out of sight while remaining financially supported. These claims have not been independently verified.
The scrutiny intensified after Andrew was arrested on February 19 on suspicion of misconduct in a public office, according to the report. He is said to be free “under investigation.”
RadarOnline’s sources also allege the case involves claims about sharing sensitive information during his former role as a trade envoy — allegations tied to Jeffrey Epstein. Those allegations remain claims, and the investigation is ongoing.
For now, the picture being painted is of a man who once lived at the center of royal privilege — and is now reportedly spending his days in quiet exile, waiting for the next move into an even smaller world.
