Significant security upgrades are necessary to ensure Andrew's safety at his new residence

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has seen priceless possessions removed from the Royal Lodge as staff plan for his exit.

Valuable artwork has been taken down from the walls as preparations intensify for the disgraced royal’s departure from the property.


The Royal Collection Trust has transported these highly valuable pieces to a bonded warehouse in London, where they will remain in storage until a new location is determined, according to The Times.

The Trust has declined to provide any information regarding the current location of items within its collection.

King Charles has reportedly designated Marsh Farm on the Sandringham estate as Andrew's future residence.

To expedite the transition, the King has indicated that temporary accommodation will be provided while restoration work takes place at the property.

Wood Farm represents one possibility for this interim arrangement.

The secluded five-bedroom dwelling previously served as Prince Philip's private retreat following his retirement from public duties in 2017.

However, construction crews have already commenced work on Marsh Farm, yet even this planned relocation has reportedly become uncertain.

Significant security upgrades are necessary to ensure Andrew's safety at the property.

Construction teams have been installing secure gates and alarm systems, though the former duke is reportedly dissatisfied with the proposed arrangement.

Adding to the complications, pest control specialists have been spotted at the premises following reports of moles on the grounds.

The arrangement forms part of efforts to accelerate the former duke's departure from Royal Lodge, the Grade II listed Windsor property where he has resided for twenty years while paying minimal rent.

Sources have expressed hope that Andrew will complete his move to Sandringham before Easter, with some suggesting the temporary housing offer could see him leave Windsor ahead of his 66th birthday on February 19.
