King Charles' disgraced brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor held leases for 10 properties, three of which he sublet, while the British monarch pays rent for the former prince's daughters' palace homes, a report by the UK's spending watchdog says.
In the most detailed review ever of royal property arrangements, the National Audit Office (NAO) report on Friday showed some leases were based on commercial valuations, while for others, senior figures paid no rent or negligible amounts for their properties.
The watchdog carried out its analysis after UK parliament's Public Accounts Committee said last December it would hold an inquiry into the issue amid questions about the lease Mountbatten-Windsor held for the Royal Lodge mansion on the King's Windsor estate.
