Andrew received up to £2,000 per month from sub-letting, watchdog reports
The watchdog said the income came from three cottages and urged future Crown Estate leases to ban subletting unless the landlord agrees.
- On Friday, the Public Accounts Committee urged the Crown Estate to adopt standard commercial lease provisions prohibiting subletting, following revelations that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor profited from subletting cottages at Royal Lodge while paying peppercorn rent.
- Mountbatten-Windsor sublet cottages at Royal Lodge for over two decades, generating just over £2,000 a month in income, before officially surrendering his lease last month with King Charles paying a £1.5 million repair bill.
- MPs criticized the Crown Estate for failing to identify specific lessons from the Royal Lodge arrangement, describing it as a 'product of its time' and concluding the Estate was 'reluctant to discuss specifics' regarding future improvements.
- Regarding the Royal Household, the spending watchdog challenged inconsistent rents for non-working members including Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, with current rates at 64% and 68% of 2026 open-market valuations respectively.
- Parliamentarians demanded greater transparency regarding the Crown Estate's £17 billion portfolio, noting administrative costs surged 129% since 2020, and urged the Estate to balance financial objectives with social duties through clearer management planning.
