A UK public spending watchdog report says Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrangements at Royal Lodge, Windsor, include subletting cottages on the estate to generate income. The report, covered by multiple outlets, examines property and rental arrangements connected to royals, focusing on how access to the Royal Lodge estate works and whether money flows are properly accounted for.
According to the accounts, Andrew lived rent-free at Royal Lodge while also being allowed to sublet cottages on the estate, with the profits reportedly kept by him. One outlet specifies income from subletting three cottages, while others describe subletting cottages more generally.
Several articles say the audit office review was prompted by requests from MPs following major changes to Andrew’s royal status, including the stripping of royal titles and his eviction from Royal Lodge by the King. BBC News and others report the watchdog’s findings in the context of broader scrutiny of public spending and the management of royal properties. The report’s details on the amounts received are described as undisclosed or not fully specified in the summaries provided by the outlets.
