A Public Accounts Committee report says Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor received just over £2,000 a month before expenses from subletting three Royal Lodge cottages for a period of less than a year from late 2021. The committee recommended that future Crown Estate leases generally require landlord permission for subletting.

The report says three cottages generated just over £2,000 a month before maintenance and expenses during a period of less than a year beginning in late 2021.
The committee recommended a standard lease term prohibiting subletting unless the Crown Estate gives prior permission, and said it should obtain relevant financial details.
The report did not disclose Andrew’s total subletting income over the past two decades, and the available information was not sufficient to calculate it accurately.
The committee also called for a consistent policy on residential rent-setting in the Royal Household, after reviewing rents for properties used by Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
