These are set at around 60% of the market rate for the<br \/>\nlocal area. However, a new report has revealed that neither<br \/>\nBeatrice nor Eugenie actually pay the rent themselves. Instead, it<br \/>\nis covered by The King.<\/p>\n<p>The new investigation, by the National Audit Office, looked at<br \/>\nhow properties inside palaces and residences belonging to the Crown<br \/>\nEstate are used.<\/p>\n<p>Princess Beatrice, 37, has lived at an apartment inside St.<br \/>\nJames\u2019s Palace, for nearly twenty years. In 2012, it was agreed she<br \/>\nwould pay rent on the property which is understood to have four<br \/>\nbedrooms. However, the report shows that rent payments are covered<br \/>\nby King Charles. Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi,<br \/>\nalso have a private home in the Cotswolds.<\/p>\n<p>Princess Eugenie, 36, rents Ivy Cottage at Kensington Palace<br \/>\nalthough her payments are also covered by The King. The princess,<br \/>\nwho is expecting her third baby, splits her time between London and<br \/>\nPortugal where she and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, have a<br \/>\nhome.<\/p>\n<p>The report also found that their father, Andrew<br \/>\nMountbatten-Windsor, had been making money by subletting three<br \/>\ncottages in the Royal Lodge development where he lived for over<br \/>\ntwenty years.<\/p>\n<p>The former prince surrendered the lease on the property last<br \/>\nautumn although he didn\u2019t leave until January this year when he<br \/>\nmoved to a home on the Sandringham estate which is privately owned<br \/>\nby King Charles III.<\/p>\n<p>The report could not find out how much Andrew had made in rent<br \/>\nwhile subletting.<\/p>\n<p>It also discovered that Andrew could be due compensation of<br \/>\n\u00a3301,000 for giving up his lease early. This will be set against<br \/>\nmoney needed for repairs to the property following his departure<br \/>\nand it\u2019s believed these will cancel out the compensation.<\/p>\n<p>The NAO report showed that five working royals live in<br \/>\nproperties leased from the Crown Estate. The Prince and Princess of<br \/>\nWales have just taken a 20 year leases on Forest Lodge on the<br \/>\nWindsor Estate. The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh rent Bagshot Park<br \/>\nwhile Princess Alexandra, who turns 90 later this year, rents<br \/>\nThatched Lodge at Richmond.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"tbmarker\"\/>  <\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source royalcentral.co.uk \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie both have access to homes within royal palaces but their rent is paid by their uncle, King Charles.
