Former Prince Andrew's belongings arrive at new Norfolk home, Marsh Farm

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor appears close to moving into his new home, as the first moving vans were spotted at Marsh Farm on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk.

The cottage, which is nestled in King Charles' private estate, had been having renovations and upgrades, like privacy fencing installed, before the former prince could officially move in.

He'd been staying at the nearby Wood Farm cottage while the works were taking place and it's here he was arrested by police on suspicion of misuse of public office last month.

The 66-year-old spent his birthday on February 19 being questioned by police for more than 10 hours, before being released. He's not been charged and denies any wrongdoing.

Following the questioning, Thames Valley Police combed through the property as well as his former residence, Royal Lodge - a 30-room Grade II listed Georgian mansion in Windsor - which he left under the cover of darkness.

His rushed move to the north-east of England came as new photos and details emerged over his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, following the release of a trove of three million emails and documents - known as the Epstein files - by the US Department of Justice.

It's understood the Gander and White vans, a company with a royal warrant, which were spotted arriving at Marsh Farm on Tuesday contained Andrew's personal belongings from the former home he shared with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.

Royal Lodge was packed up after police finished five days of evidence gathering there last month in connection to their investigation.

The brother of the monarch is accused of passing on sensitive government information to Epstein during his role as UK trade envoy in the early 2000s.

The files also showed the former Duke of York had been still in touch with Epstein after the time he'd claimed, in the Newsnight interview, to have ended his friendship with the disgraced American financier.

Photos were also uncovered of Andrew leaning over a passed out woman on the floor. However, there is no accusations of any wrongdoing in this particular instance.

There are currently multiple police investigations into a variety of allegations against the royals but he has not been charged with anything.

King Charles took decisive action last October in an attempt to distance the British royal family from the ongoing scandal and stripped his brother of all his titles and peerage.

The move came following the release of the first batch of Epstein files and ahead of the release of Virginia Giuffre's memoir, which contained allegations she'd made previously, accusing the once second in line to the throne of having sex with her on three separate occasions when she was 17 years of age.

While the royal has always denied these claims and even knowing Giuffre, despite a photo appearing to show them at Ghislaine Maxwell's London home, the former Duke of York reportedly settled a civil court case she brought against him in 2022 for £12 million ($22 million). The settlement included no admission of guilt.

Giuffre, whose memoir Nobody's Girl detailed her years of abuse from a young age as one of Epstein's victims, was released posthumously in October, after she took her own life last April.

As a result of losing his title, Andrew was booted out of Royal Lodge, to live life as commoner Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in Norfolk.
