Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has come under scrutiny for allegedly making significant profits from subletting three cottages on his Royal Lodge estate in Windsor while paying a minimal 'peppercorn rent' for over two decades. Critics, including former Liberal Democrat minister Norman Baker, have labeled the situation as 'outrageous,' arguing it demonstrates a blatant disregard for taxpayer interests. The investigation revealed that Andrew was entitled to sublet the properties under his lease, but the exact amounts he earned remain undisclosed. Additionally, it was disclosed that his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, are receiving financial support for their rents from the King, despite both being non-working royals. This has further fueled public outrage, as many believe that non-working members of the royal family should not be subsidized by public funds. A spokesperson for The Crown Estate stated that their leases were established based on independent advice and market valuations, while Buckingham Palace declined to comment on the matter.
