This week, the former Duke of York moved to his new home in Sandringham from his Windsor mansion amid the release of new files relating to Jeffrey Epstein.
It is understood that he has relocated to Wood Farm Cottage on the King’s estate.

A national newspaper has reported that “his move has caused revolt among royal servants at Sandringham despite only arriving on Monday night”.
Staff members at Sandringham estate have reportedly gone on “strike” amid the former duke’s move.
A source told The Sun that the number of staff who are refusing to work for him is already a “long list”.
He is staying temporarily at Sandringham’s Wood Farm cottage before moving next door to his permanent home, Marsh Farm.
The former duke’s new home is not yet fully ready, but he is expected to move in by the start of April.

Another source told The Sun: “They’ve been told they don’t have to serve Andrew or work for him if they feel uncomfortable.
“There is already quite a list saying no thanks. There is understandably a lot of disquiet as he is now a total pariah.
“But there is also a worry that once he gets comfortable at Wood Farm, while Marsh Farm is being finished, they will never get him out again.”
The former duke also had a cold welcome from his new neighbours.
A woman who answered the door at a nearby house in Wolferton, speaking anonymously, said she felt it was the wrong location for Andrew to move to and that he should be somewhere more “secluded”.
“I think if he has to come and live here, it should be somewhere that’s quite secluded,” she said.
“The press are all down there. The villagers don’t like that. It’s a quiet village.”
