"It was the first time he’s seen his new house and he is resigned to the fact that this is his future," a source told The Sun.
“He’s come to the conclusion that he has to get on with the rest of his life and accepts he has to make the best of it," they added.
Marsh Farm, the place on the estate where Andrew will be living, is smaller than his sprawling 30-room Royal Lodge where he has been in since 2004.
Marsh Farm Is a 'Downgrade' From the Royal Lodge

According to the outlet, Andrew surveyed the home to measure windows for curtains, in addition to seeing what renovations need to be done.
A neighbor divulged to The Sun how Marsh Farm is quite the "downgrade" from his old Windsor property. “Even this place is too good for him — it’s still not bad for exile, is it?” they said. “There’s barely any drive. He’ll be right on the road. He won’t get much peace.”

Ex-Prince Andrew Was Stripped of His Royal Titles Last Year
Sarah Ferguson moved in to Royal Lodge in 2008.
In October 2025, King Charles III yanked away his younger brother's royal titles and evicted him from Royal Lodge due to his ongoing scandals and association with Jeffrey Epstein.
Andrew's ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, who has lived in Royal Lodge with him since 2008, was also booted out of the residence last year.

The royal family heads to Sandringham every year for Christmas.
Marsh Farm sits seven miles from the main Norfolk house, where the royals spend their Christmas holiday every year.
The rundown farm includes a main house with two reception rooms and a kitchen. Some of Andrew's personal items have reportedly already been moved out of the home and put into storage for the time being.
Sandringham was purchased as a country home for Edward VII in 1862, when he was still the Prince of Wales. It currently serves as a private residence for The Firm and is open to the public from springtime to early autumn.
