UK MPs to investigate royal property leases after Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor paid no rent for 20+ years despite £8.5M payment.
UK MPs have launched a parliamentary inquiry into the Crown Estate’s leasing of royal properties, following revelations that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor paid no rent for over 20 years on Royal Lodge despite a £8.5 million upfront payment.
The Public Accounts Committee will examine lease fairness, transparency, and value for taxpayers, focusing on arrangements for Royal Lodge and other residences like Forest Lodge.
The probe, beginning in early 2026, will assess lease terms, negotiations, and potential compensation, though no royal is expected to testify.
The Crown Estate says terms reflect location, condition, and security needs.
Mountbatten-Windsor, who lost his titles amid Epstein-linked allegations, denies wrongdoing.
