The quiet farmhouse known as Wood Farm, located on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, has recently become the temporary residence of Prince Andrew. While the property might appear modest compared with the grand royal residences often associated with the British monarchy, its past reveals a surprisingly rich and sometimes poignant history.
From royal retreats and family memories to more somber chapters, the story of Wood Farm stretches back more than a century and connects several generations of the royal family.

Long before it became Andrew’s temporary residence, Wood Farm played a quiet role in the early romance between Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales.
In the early 2000s, the couple reportedly visited the six-bedroom farmhouse while their relationship was still developing. Their first stay is believed to have taken place in 2002, shortly after they met as students at University of St Andrews in Scotland.
