Shocking detail on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s ‘crumbling’ home | Royal

The lease agreement stated that the occupier of the home is required to “repair, renew, uphold, clean and keep in repair and, where necessary, rebuild” the 30-bedroom mansion.

The fact no inspections of the property took place during Andrew’s time living at the Windsor home may not come as a surprise, especially as photographs taken last year showed that the 30-room mansion was definitely showing signs of its age.

While there were no photographs of the interior of the home, the exterior paintwork on the home could be seen to be crumbling and in need of a refresh.

Likewise, cracks were seen in the walls of the property – another sign it needed work doing.

The need for repairs has actually now disadvantaged the former prince, as it has been reported that he may no longer be entitled to compensation for giving up his 75-year lease early.

It was originally believed he could have received around £488,342.21; however, as the property is in need of repair, the former Duke may now leave the property without receiving a penny.

It is believed that the Royal Family want Andrew to leave the home before Easter, but an official moving date has not yet been confirmed.

It has been reported that the King’s brother will be relocated to Marsh Farm, a cottage on the monarch’s private Sandringham Estate.
