Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor earned more than £2,000 a month by renting out three cottages at his former Royal Lodge home, according to a public-spending watchdog report. The reports say he received the money through private subletting while living on the Windsor estate.
The outlets frame the disclosure in similar terms: they focus on the claimed monthly earnings and the fact that the cottages were additional properties tied to Royal Lodge. Sky News and The Independent both describe the watchdog finding, while The Independent also provides more context about why Andrew left the residence. The Mail Online and Daily Mail emphasise that he lived on the estate for free and profited from renting out the extra homes.
Overall, the reporting aligns on the central figure (more than £2,000 per month), the number of cottages (three), and the location (Royal Lodge grounds). Differences are mainly in how each outlet sets the background and what detail it chooses to foreground, rather than in the core claim.
