(105,108 posts)7. Sending him to Sandringham (which is a "private" estate they bought, rather than a historic one)
The BBC did a list of possibilities earlier. This moves him handily well away from London (though not as far as the Castle of Mey option would have - that's at the northernmost bit of the British mainland).
Wood Farm, Norfolk
Further afield, there's also Wood Farm, on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, which is privately owned by the monarch.
The cottage, described as "small and intimate" by former housekeeper Teresa Thompson, has strong associations with Prince Andrew's parents.
His father, the late Duke of Edinburgh, chose the secluded property as his permanent home when he retired from public life in 2017.
He and the late Queen already regularly stayed there in preference to opening up Sandringham House when it was just the two of them.

The teen aged girl who was made to service him is dead. Pretty hard to convict without live witnesses.

Too bad the U.S. won't react in a similar manner. We can't even get the government to release the Epstein files.
