Queen gone to private bolthole to 'reflect on traumatic year', says expert
ok.co.ukQueen Elizabeth II has gone to Sandringham’s Wood Farm to reflect on her "traumatic" 2021, an expert has said. Her Majesty has headed down to Sandringham to stay at her five-bedroom cottage — a place where the late Duke of Edinburgh is said to have spent a lot of his retirement, and where he and the Queen would be able to get some well-needed R&R.
The Queen’s trip to her Doncaster-based estate comes just weeks after she stripped Prince Andrew of his military titles in the wake of the news that the Duke Of York will face a civil trial for sex abuse claims.
Discussing the 95 year old monarch’s trip, royal biographer Robert Jobson told The Mirror: “The Grade II-listed Wood Farm, located on a secluded part of the Queen’s Sandringham Estate looking out to sea, has long been a bolthole for the Queen and her late husband Prince Philip.” “It is where the Queen, Philip, and their four children went to relax for more than 50 years.
And, of course, it is where Philip made his retirement home in his twilight years with the Queen’s blessing,” Robert continued. “The Queen was known to cook and even do dishes while she was staying there. “It is now the place Her Majesty, now a widow, has chosen to go for a bit of privacy and reflection after a traumatic 12 months.” Get exclusive celebrity stories and fabulous photoshoots straight to your inbox with OK!'s daily newsletter.
