Ex-Prince Andrew\u2019s home reportedly felt far smaller than many expected for someone born into palace life. As per a new claim by writer Julia Banim, the Sandringham property looked more like a comfortable country house than a former royal base, and that contrast stood out immediately. The ex-prince\u2019s move also came during a messy stretch, with Easter plans reportedly disrupted as Andrew<\/a> shifted between properties before finally spending his first night at Marsh Farm on Easter Monday.<\/p>\n

Writer claims Ex-Prince Andrew\u2019s home won\u2019t stop anyone in their tracks<\/p>\n

As per the Mirror<\/a> report, Julia Banim visited Marsh Farm shortly after Andrew\u2019s move. She said, \u201cThis isn\u2019t the sort of property that stops you in your tracks.\u201d Then, she sharpened the picture further, calling it \u201clarge, but not imposing.\u201d According to Banim, the red-brick house looked more like the place of a \u201cwell-to-do middle-class businessman.\u201d That, she wrote, was not what many would expect for a former royal.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Banim added several details that made the place feel even less grand. She said a \u201clow wooden fence\u201d stood between her and the lawn. She also described \u201cmolehill puckered\u201d ground and an \u201cordinary, puddle-streaked country lane\u201d outside.<\/p>\n

At the same time, she noted there was little privacy from that vantage point. The front windows, she wrote, were only \u201ca stone\u2019s throw away.\u201d Then came the detail that stayed with her most. She said, \u201cThe smell of wet mud took me aback.\u201d That image gave Andrew<\/a>\u2018s home a damp, earthy feel rather than a protected royal one.<\/p>\n

However, the same report tied the modest setting to a larger Easter headache. The Mirror said Andrew\u2019s back-and-forth between Wood Farm and Marsh Farm affected Prince Edward<\/a> and Sophie\u2019s holiday plans. A source claimed, \u201cIt\u2019s got to be sorted,\u201d because the Edinburghs liked using Wood Farm.<\/p>\n

According to the report, the couple instead stayed at Garden House over Easter. By Easter Monday, Andrew reportedly spent his first night at Marsh Farm. Still, Banim\u2019s description lingered. the ex-prince\u2019s home may have had five bedrooms and outbuildings, but the writer said it lacked the kind of impact once linked with his old life.<\/p>\n
