Under the cover of darkness, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has left Royal Lodge and is now in temporary quarters on the Sandringham estate. It is understood that he will stay at Wood Farm until the renovations on Marsh Farm are completed in April.
The Sun, which was the first to report his departure, quoted one of Andrew's friends: "Leaving was so humiliating for him that he chose to do it under the cover of darkness. He didn't want to have a big emotional goodbye, even though Royal Lodge is a place where he had so many family memories.
"Theoretically, he could have stayed until Marsh Farm was ready, but the headlines were only getting worse. Also, the fact he's been driving around Windsor laughing and looking like he hasn't a care in the world hasn't gone down well with the Royal Household."
The former prince was seen on Monday horseback riding on Monday."
He is expected to return to Royal Lodge in a few weeks for the rest of his belongings, according to the BBC.
He was not accompanied by his former wife, Sarah Ferguson, as she hopes to find a nice bedsit in the Windsor area. Plans for her to move into a small property on Princess Beatrice's Cotswolds estate have been scuppered.
Ferguson's international charity, Sarah's Trust, will be closed. A spokesman said: “Our chair Sarah Ferguson and the board of trustees have agreed that with regret the charity will shortly close for the foreseeable future. This has been under discussion and in train for some months.”
