Andrew's Real Estate Portfolio Shrinks Again
Key Points:
- Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is ending his lease on East Lodge, a Grade II-listed thatched cottage near Windsor, which was previously used to house staff and had a rent recently valued at around $17,000 annually.
- This decision follows increased scrutiny of his royal leases, particularly after his arrest last month related to ties with Jeffrey Epstein.
- Earlier this year, Andrew moved from Royal Lodge in Windsor to a residence owned by King Charles III at Sandringham, signaling a shift in his property arrangements.
- The Crown Estate confirmed that Andrew's request for early lease termination came after a BBC Freedom of Information request, and MPs plan to investigate royal leases in an upcoming inquiry.
