Why does he not pay rent?
There have been calls to evict Prince Andrew from his 30-room mansion, the Royal Lodge, after it was reported that he has not paid rent on it for two decades.
Why does he not pay rent?
Andrew has leased the Royal Lodge from the UK state's property empire, the crown estate, since 2003. He pays the crown estate rent of “one peppercorn (if demanded) per annum”. This is a historical term and does not mean he pays an actual peppercorn. This formulation of words helps to make the lease agreement a legal contract, but it is just symbolic. In reality, he pays no rent.
Has Andrew paid anything to live in the mansion?
