Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor finally moved out of his Windsor home of Royal Lodge on Monday, 2 February, when he was evicted due to allegations connecting him to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The disgraced royal's new home will be Marsh Farm, located on the Sandringham Estate, his brother King Charles' residence in Norfolk, but while it is being prepared for him, he will live on Wood Farm.

However, the former monarch still spent lots of time on the property, and had a rule for the staff working there. According to former royal chef Darren McGrady, who wrote about his time working for the British royal family in his book, Eating Royally: Recipes and Remembrances from a Palace Kitchen, the late Queen was strict about how her corgis were treated.
Darren explained how he always knew when the mother-of-four was ready for lunch because of the dogs: "The dining room was right next to the kitchen, and we knew when the Queen was coming through for lunch because the door was always open and the dogs would be herded into the kitchen," he wrote.
"I could feel as many as twelve in the royal dining room and six in the staff room, all the while navigating around the dogs, which were jumping for tidbits," the chef continued. "You couldn't push the dogs away, for the Queen would hear them yelp in the next room and know what was going on."
Queen Elizabeth II famously doted over her corgis, so it seems unsurprising that she would expect her staff to treat them with royal dignity!
The fate of Queen Elizabeth's corgis
Given that Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah, lived with the late Queen's two corgis, Muick and Sandy, there were many questions raised about what would happen to them following the couple's eviction from Royal Lodge.
However, Buckingham Palace confirmed where they will go in a statement that read: "The corgis will remain with the family," though it was not declared whether it would be Andrew, Sarah, or Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice that would look after them.
