Prince Andrew’s Windsor cottages rented at peppercorn price, NAO finds

An NAO report into the Royal Household’s properties says Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor sublet three cottages on the Royal Lodge estate in Windsor and paid a peppercorn rent for a 75-year lease; the inquiry could not establish how much income he earned from subletting, though he paid £1 million upfront in 2003 and £7.5 million for renovations that reduced that upfront cost. Mountbatten-Windsor has moved out amid renewed scrutiny tied to Epstein documents and police investigations into misconduct in public office. The report also notes Beatrice and Eugenie’s rents are paid by King Charles, that the Royal Lodge estate hosts eight cottages and 145 other properties rented to staff, generating about £3.6 million in income last year, and that greater transparency from the Royal Household is welcome.

Queen backed Andrew’s trade envoy bid in newly released files

New government files released in response to Lib Dems show Queen Elizabeth II was keen for her son Prince Andrew to become the UK’s trade envoy, with documents detailing his role as special representative for international trade and investment from 2001–2011, his strengths in high‑tech trade, and planned overseas visits with media guidance. The release notes confidentiality around royal communications but makes an exception for Andrews’ overseas visits and the Queen’s views on the role’s development. The materials state he would not be paid, only expenses, though whistleblowers allege he charged taxpayers for travel and even massages. Andrew has denied wrongdoing in relation to Epstein; he was arrested in 2019 on suspicion of misconduct in public office and later released under investigation. The government says no further files on the appointment are expected."
