"The former Duke of York only reportedly paid 13,000 a year for the Grade II thatched cottage, whilst other homes in the area are rented for up to 7,500 a month (which equates to 90,000 a year). The 19th-Century property was understood to be used just by staff, with Andrew only living in it briefly between 1998 and 2004."
"The former prince had mainly lived at Royal Lodge in Windsor but agreed to surrender his royal titles and give up the lease on the property in October last year following further revelations about his relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffery Epstein. He moved to the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, living at a property owned by King Charles at the monarch's expense."
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has requested early termination of his lease on East Lodge, a Grade II listed thatched cottage in Berkshire that he rented for £13,000 annually, significantly below market rates of up to £90,000 per year for comparable properties in the area. The 19th-century property was primarily used by staff, with Mountbatten-Windsor occupying it only briefly between 1998 and 2004. His lease was originally scheduled to expire in 2027. This decision follows his October agreement to surrender royal titles and relinquish the lease on Royal Lodge in Windsor following renewed scrutiny regarding his association with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. He subsequently relocated to the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, residing in a property owned by King Charles at the monarch's expense.
