As ex-Prince Andrew prepares to move to Marsh Farm — a new property on the Sandringham estate — a report says the home sits in an area flagged for flooding risk just as Storm Chandra brings heavy rain and disruption across parts of the United Kingdom.
The situation leaves Andrew facing yet another setback as he is almost set to vacate the Royal Lodge. Besides, the timing could not be worse as he moves homes under public scrutiny, while his reported new address comes with risks that have to be taken seriously.
Ex-Prince Andrew suffers new setback as new home faces flood risk — report
GB News reported that ex-Prince Andrew is due to move into his new home — a residence known as Marsh Farm — while the flood risk towers over him.
Though pressure is mounting around his departure from Royal Lodge, the outlet reports Marsh Farm stands on floodplains. Residents in the area have received advice to sign up for flood alerts in case local protections fail.
Additionally, the outlet pointed to a flood risk assessment from last year for a nearby property called Wolferton Barns. It reportedly highlights concerns linked to the Wolferton Pumping Station, including the possibility of breakdowns over time or power issues that could affect flood management during severe conditions.
The assessment also notes that emergency measures could include temporary pumping equipment if flooding threatens land and buildings.
GB News further reported that Storm Chandra has already affected activity on the king’s Sandringham estate. The Children’s Play Area has allegedly closed due to dangerous wind conditions. The closure appeared on Sandringham’s official channels, while the wider estate stayed open with safety warnings for visitors.
The Met Office has warned that the storm will bring strong winds and heavy rainfall. It could also come with possible flooding and travel disruption in some areas. This development adds a hurdle to ex-Prince Andrew’s move, which has already been drawing attention.
