Overview
- A January 25 handover deadline was widely reported, with large removal vans seen at Royal Lodge and some outlets saying he has now left.
- Marsh Farm in Wolferton is being refitted with a new fence, security lighting and a Sky installation, and the area has an extended drone no‑fly restriction and documented local flood risk.
- Sources say he will use temporary accommodation on the Sandringham estate until Marsh Farm is habitable, with hopes to complete the move before Easter.
- Most household staff at Royal Lodge have been paid off rather than relocate, and a much smaller skeleton operation is expected once he settles in Norfolk.
- Family tensions continue, with reports that Princess Eugenie has cut contact, Princess Beatrice remains in limited touch, and Sarah Ferguson is not expected to live at Marsh Farm.
