Royal home with tragic past where Sarah Ferguson would spend Christmas


Sarah, Duchess of York has spent many Christmas Days alone at Wood Farm on the Sandringham Estate - but that has all changed thanks to King Charles' more open and friendly approach

The estate also has several other buildings on the grounds, including the Prince and Princess of Wales' countryside home of Anmer Hall, Park House and York Cottage. Wood Farm is a small cottage that was built around the same time as the main Sandringham House and was sold to and adapted for the future King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. In 1916, the prince’s epileptic seizures became more frequent and he was sent away to live with his governess Charlotte “Lala” Bill at Wood Farm, a secluded farmhouse in the corner of the Sandringham Estate.
