report<\/a> in 2005, which said the decision on the lease was made as it was \u201cappropriate in view of the overriding 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
At the weekend, ex-royal correspondent Jennie Bond told the BBC that Prince Andrew had a \u201ccast-iron\u201d deal to stay at Royal Lodge. <\/p>\n
She said: \u201cShould he 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
The Crown Estate said it made the decision to share the copy of the lease on Monday, adding that the document contained information already available through the Land Registry and the NAO report. <\/p>\n
The only exception was a \u201cschedule of dilapidation\u201d, it said, which it was now seeking to confirm if it could be shared without breaching security considerations.<\/p>\n
It said the \u00a37.5m in refurbishments, as set out in the contract, were completed in 2005. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
