Ex-Prince Andrew is said to be living a far more low-profile life in Norfolk, with insiders claiming even those around him have begun referring to him by a new nickname: “Phantom of the Opera.” According to sources cited by RadarOnline, the label reflects how rarely the former senior royal is now seen as the “world’s most well-known hermit.”

The 66-year-old is currently staying at Wood Farm on the Sandringham estate while he prepares to move to nearby Marsh Farm. He moved there after leaving Royal Lodge in Windsor, where he lived for years.
Sources suggest that Andrew’s routine has become significantly more withdrawn compared to his earlier years within royal circles. Insiders say, “By the time Andrew had fully settled into life at Wood Farm, there was already a marked change in the tone of how he was being discussed privately among staff and those on the estate. The contrast between the life he led at Royal Lodge and his current, far more contained existence has been impossible for those around him to ignore. It has become a frequent point of conversation, particularly given how visible and active he used to be within royal circles.”

The phrase “Phantom of the Opera,” they said, reflects the idea of someone who remains physically present but largely unseen, a figure who exists “on the fringes of royal life.” Andrew is expected to relocate permanently to Marsh Farm in the coming weeks. “It captures the sense that he’s still there physically, but largely removed from public view, almost like a ghost within the system.”
