Booted out of his plush former home, disgraced former prince Andrew is now spending time in a battered old caravan.
The shamed royal has been kicked out of his former home of 30 room Royal Lodge and its grand rooms all stripped of posh antiques and art,
Now its disgraced former inhabitant has a new permanent home on the Sandringham Estate and will soon move into a much more modest five bedroom bolthole hidden away from public view.
Next month, Andrew, 66, will move into Marsh Lodge, which is shielded from public view by a 6ft fence.
And now it has been revealed he has recently taken delivery of a second-hand static caravan a few days ago, which has been propped up on bricks in his back garden, bearing signs of moss.

The man, once second in line to the throne and who had become accustomed to views of Windsor Castle , will instead now be able to gaze at the mouldy caravan, which has been named The Vision.
The two bed caravan – a £26,000 Willerby Meridian Lodge – was paid for using money his brother, King Charles, gave him for ‘living expenses’ and it will house his security detail as there is not enough space in his main Norfolk home.
But it seems Andrew is actually a fan of The Vision.
A source said: “Andrew uses it himself, would you believe, and what’s more shocking is, he likes it. He really is a changed man; he’s enjoyed sitting in the caravan. It’s novel for him.

“People thought the caravan was for his staff, but he doesn’t really have any. The staff who work elsewhere at Sandringham already help out, but many are reluctant to live in.”
Sources say the caravan, which as a temporary structure is not subject to planning constraints, has been handy for Andrew to use during site visits to Marsh Farm, which is still being extensively renovated in preparation for his arrival.
He is currently living a mile and a half away at Wood Farm.
Insiders say he is reluctant to leave until Marsh Farm is up to his ‘standards’, with King Charles furious as he wants him out so Wood Farm can go back to being used as ‘overspill’ accommodation for Sandringham guests.

The source continued: “Marsh Farm has needed rewiring and plastering and there was even talk of asbestos – it’s not in a fit state for him yet. Meanwhile, Andrew wants the best of everything and the process is painfully slow.
“But he needs to be out soon, and the King would have no qualms about pushing him out of Wood Farm if it was needed for overspill. Andrew might end up sleeping in that caravan if he’s not careful.”
