Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has finally completed his permanent move to Marsh Farm.

The former prince has been residing at Wood Farm since he was booted out of Royal Lodge early, following his alleged connections to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

The ex-Duke of York has spent just over two months at his temporary residence, Wood Farm, and was seen on numerous occasions, including leaving Aylsham Police Station, where he was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

Mr Mountbatten-Windsor, who was released under investigation, has consistently denied any wrongdoing but has not responded to the latest allegations.

Marsh Farm has undergone extensive work ahead of the former prince's move.

A new security fence has been installed around the exterior of the five-bedroom property, and a new carpet appears to have been laid.

Several boxes featuring "HRH" have been spotted being delivered to the property, despite Mr Mountbatten-Windsor having his titles removed.

The former prince was spotted earlier today taking a stroll in a field between Wood Farm and Marsh Farm.

Mr Mountbatten-Windsor was spotted with a glum look on his face, wearing a green jacket as he strolled the residence, opting to wrap up despite the warm conditions.

He was recently visited by his younger brother, Prince Edward, who became the first member of the Royal Family to see the former duke.

During their Easter visit to Sandringham, the Duke of Edinburgh and his wife Sophie planned to stay at Wood Farm.

However, the couple had to stay in a holiday rental after Mr Mountbatten-Windsor refused to vacate the property, despite completing his permanent move just a couple of days after Easter Sunday.

Edward and Sophie were believed to be planning to stay at the five-bedroom farmhouse about two miles from the main estate, as is their tradition for royal events.

Instead, the couple reportedly took up residence at Gardens House, a cottage that commands rates of up to £4,110 weekly during peak periods.

The property, once home to the estate's head gardener, sits approximately 300 yards from Sandringham House and sleeps up to eight guests.

The Duke of Edinburgh had a "quiet word" with the former prince during his visit to Wood Farm last weekend.

"Prince Edward was the first and only member of the Royal Family to visit," a source told The Sun.

The insider explained: "Andrew has been ignored by everyone since he left Royal Lodge, including his daughters and ex-wife, who have stayed away. Edward has already publicly made his feelings clear when he expressed concern for the victims.

"Edward was meant to be staying at Wood Farm as he regularly books it for Easter, but his brother was there.

"Andrew has been dragging his heels. He could have moved by now, but has been reluctant. Edward has had a quiet word with his brother."

A few days after this "quiet word"" the former prince has now finally completed his move to Marsh Farm, his new permanent home after more than 20 years at Royal Lodge.
