Andrew to receive £302,000 after leaving Royal Lodge

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is set to receive £302,000 in compensation after surrendering the lease on Royal Lodge, the Crown Estate has confirmed.

The former prince vacated the 30-room Windsor mansion earlier this year, after King Charles stripped him of his titles and removed him from the property amid the ongoing Epstein scandal.

Crown Estate confirms payout

A spokesperson for the Crown Estate said the former Duke of York will be awarded the six-figure sum after he handed back the lease on the property early.

The payment follows Andrew's departure from Royal Lodge, where he had resided for years before the recent upheaval.

Background to the eviction

The eviction came after Andrew was stripped of his royal titles and forced to leave the residence, a move linked to the Epstein scandal that has continued to overshadow his public life.

The Crown Estate's confirmation of the compensation marks the latest development in the saga surrounding the former prince's exit from the royal property.
