Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor could face a humiliating rejection when he moves into his new home.
Andrew’s upcoming move to a Sandringham residence puts him in close proximity to the Royal West Norfolk golf club.

The secluded five-bedroom dwelling previously served as Prince Philip’s private retreat following his retirement from public duties in 2017.
