András, the former prince, could have earned nearly nine hundred thousand forints a month by renting out houses belonging to the royal estate.
A parliamentary committee report reveals that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor did not pay rent for his residence while earning income from subletting three smaller houses on the Royal Lodge grounds. Despite his rental agreement exempting him from rent payments, he retained the income from these sublets. The report suggests prohibiting subletting Crown Estate properties without special permission. Concerns were also raised about rental payments for non-working royal family members living in royal properties, with some, like Princess Beatrice and Eugenie, having their housing costs covered by the King. Additionally, the Crown Estate's administrative costs have risen significantly amid government budget pressures.
