report<\/a> in 2005, which said the decision on the lease was made as it was \u201cappropriate in view of the over-riding need to maintain close management control over Royal Lodge\u201d.<\/p>\nThe report said Andrew approached the Crown Estate over the property following the death of the late Queen Elizabeth\u2019s mother.<\/p>\n
As part of the deal, Andrew paid an initial \u00a31m and was required to carry out refurbishment work at an estimated cost of \u00a37.5m. He was then told to pay a notional rental sum of \u00a3260,000.<\/p>\n
At the weekend, ex-royal correspondent Jennie Bond told the BBC Prince Andrew had a \u201ccast iron\u201d deal to stay at Royal Lodge. <\/p>\n
She said: \u201cShould she be dislodged from Royal Lodge where he lives, this large house in Windsor, well he has a pretty cast iron tenancy agreement and that is difficult, the King has been trying to get him out.<\/p>\n
\u201cAndrew likes us all to believe he has a tendency to be rather too honourable. Well I do think the honourable thing might be to say, I will relinquish not only my titles… but I will also relinquish this rather large home. But I don\u2019t see that happening.\u201d<\/p>\n
