Overview
- A group that arrived by car climbed the new fence at Marsh Farm on Thursday, then left after Andrew’s security intervened, according to photos and multiple reports.
- Andrew is still staying at Wood Farm as Marsh Farm is finished with upgrades that include large security gates, a six‑foot perimeter fence, fresh carpets and a refitted kitchen.
- Prince Edward reportedly became the first royal to see Andrew in exile this week for a “quiet word” urging him to complete the move, with Edward and Sophie shifting to the main house rather than their usual stay at Wood Farm.
- Senior royals have kept their distance and, with the King’s agreement, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie made other Easter plans instead of joining the family gathering.
- Andrew was arrested on February 19 on suspicion of misconduct in public office and released under investigation, a backdrop that has cut his privileges and turned Sandringham into a media‑watched relocation with public security concerns.
