Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is moving out of Royal Lodge to a new home at Marsh Farm, after
King Charles III stripped him of his royal titles and evicted him and his ex-wife,
Sarah Ferguson, due to their friendship with the late
Jeffrey Epstein.
But the people who live in his
new hood are making sure he knows what to expect and how different it will be.

Neighbors believe that it will be a "huge adjustment" for the ex-duke. Local Philip Sheppard said: "What he's going to do around here, I really don't know. He's going to be a bit bored and isolated."
Marsh Farms is located in the much smaller town of Wolferson and has just 40 to 50 homes. Many residents are workers who hold jobs on the Sandringham Estate.
Sheppard believes that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor will be unhappy. "I don't think it'll do his health much good. The fact [that] he won't have [Sarah Ferguson] to be a regular support will really have an effect on him."

There are no shops in the village for Marsh Farms, with Philip Sheppard admitting that "residents hope Andrew [Mountbatten-Windsor] won't venture to Dersingham Co-op three miles away, for his groceries."
The locals are open about how they really feel about the disgraced royal. "I don't like him. No one wants him. Everyone is saying that we don't want him here," an anonymous neighbor told
Daily Express.

While Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor begrudgingly moves into a smaller home, his daughters,
Princess Beatrice and
Princess Eugenie, struggle with how to move forward in their relationship with their father.
Eugenie is keeping her distance in the public eye, but her sister, Beatrice, was recently spotted horseback riding with her dad, a potentially
risky move.
A commentator told
Newsweek that the royal took "a reputational risk by associating with her father."
The Sun even published photos of Beatrice bringing her 4-year-old daughter,
Sienna, along for the outing with her grandfather.
