A document has emerged, which the BBC has seen, showing the lease agreement between Prince Andrew and the Crown Estate for his Windsor home Royal Lodge.
The controversy around his connection to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which has seen him give up titles including the Duke of York, has thrown the spotlight on his living arrangements and how he is able to fund them despite not being a working royal.
With Prince Andrew mired in scandal, it's a terrible look for the Royal Family to have him living among them in apparent splendour in the Grade II listed building.
His deal on the 30-room mansion means he has only ever paid a token annual rent - and even that might not be required under the terms of his lease.
That is because the arrangement with the Crown Estate landlords struck in 2003 meant that, instead of paying annual rent, Prince Andrew made large lump sum payments up-front, including for renovations.
