A recent report by the National Audit Office (NAO) has revealed that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been renting out three cottages on the Royal Lodge estate, which he leases from the Crown Estate. Furthermore, King Charles is personally covering the rent for his daughters, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, who occupy royal palace accommodations despite not being working royals. This arrangement has drawn criticism, with former Home Office minister Norman Baker calling it 'outrageous' to subsidize luxury accommodations in this manner, especially as many Britons struggle with high living costs. The NAO's report, the first on royal residences in two decades, indicates that Andrew and his family have utilized 12 properties owned by the Crown Estate or the Royal Household. While palace sources claim Andrew's rental income only covers running costs, the optics of a royal acting as a mini-landlord raise concerns about privilege. Critics are urging King Charles to implement reforms, including ensuring no royal receives below-market rents and suggesting that his daughters relinquish their palace residences.
