Public inquiry urged as royal finances face fresh scrutiny over subletting
TL;DR
Campaigners are calling for a full public inquiry into royal finances after the NAO disclosed that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor earned undisclosed income from subletting three cottages at Royal Lodge while paying a peppercorn rent, raising questions about Crown Estate use and broader funding of the monarchy; advocates urge radical reform and greater transparency across royal properties and arrangements, including Beatrice and Eugenie’s privately funded rents, the Duchy of Cornwall, and other long leases.
