Which Duke of York is referenced as the home belonging to? Prince George and Princess Mary, Duke and Duchess of York until their accession? Or Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York? Thanks!

The former. KJP1 (talk) 15:21, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

deplorable

This article is terribly written. I have no idea what significance the quote from George V has, because the article specifically refers to York Cottage, not Sandringham Estate as a whole. I'm also not sure about the "If you go" section. It's poorly written and confusing. 74.69.11.229 (talk) 17:12, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The papers are reporting the Queen has given York Cottage to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. https://metro.co.uk/2018/05/19/inside-york-cottage-queens-wedding-gift-prince-harry-meghan-markle-7561239/ 98.10.165.90 (talk) 16:10, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The actual quote is: "it’s understood [the Queen] will be donating it as a wedding present". --2800:A4:E12:6100:9D72:AD56:8182:E3B6 (talk) 13:52, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Some are indeed, although others aren't. See the York Cottage entry at Sandringham House. KJP1 (talk) 15:22, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
