Summary

A National Audit Office report reveals that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (the Duke of York) generated private income by subletting three cottages on his Windsor Royal Lodge estate while paying only a nominal "peppercorn rent" to the Crown Estate. The report also shows King Charles pays a below-market "adjusted" rent from his private Duchy of Lancaster income for his brother's non-working daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, to reside in royal palaces. Additionally, the Prince and Princess of Wales's Forest Lodge home underwent £400,000 in repairs.
