Most of Andrew’s compensation could be spent repairing Royal Lodge
Question Time filming halted and audience burst into applause as Andrew news breaks
Andrew Mountbatten Windsor is reportedly due a six-figure compensation sum for surrendering his lease on Royal Lodge after being stripped of his royal titles.
The potential payout, which could be up to £558,000, is for moving out of the 30-room mansion before his lease expires in 2078.
Sources suggest Royal Lodge is in significant disrepair, with issues including a potentially collapsing flat roof and crumbling walls.
Andrew was contractually obliged to maintain the property, and the cost of these necessary repairs may be deducted from his compensation package.
If the repair costs exceed the compensation, Andrew could end up out of pocket, with his financial support expected to come from the King's private finances.
