Prince Andrew Unlikely to Receive Compensation for Relinquishing Royal Lodge Residence
Prince Andrew is unlikely to receive any compensation for relinquishing his Royal Lodge residence due to the necessary repairs needed for the 30-room mansion. The Crown Estate stated that the extent of repairs required would likely negate any compensation owed to Prince Andrew for early termination of the lease. A thorough assessment by a dilapidation expert is needed to validate this position. Prince Andrew provided a minimum 12-month notice of surrendering the property on October 30. If no repairs were necessary, he would have been entitled to £488,342.21 for ending his tenancy in 2026.
