Auditors shine light on UK royal housing, disgraced Andrew’s ‘peppercorn rent’

King Charles' younger brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor held leases for 10 properties, with three sublet, while the monarch pays rent for the former prince’s daughters’ palace homes, according to a National Audit Office report. The report revealed some royal property leases were based on commercial valuations, while others involved negligible or no rent payments.
