🕵️ Pressure’s on for Prince Andrew to Move Out! 🏰
The heat is intensifying around Prince Andrew and his lavish 30-bedroom Windsor mansion due to his “peppercorn rent” deal that’s been in place for over 20 years. What’s the fuss about? He snagged a 75-year lease back in 2003 for a cool ÂŁ1 million, with an annual rent of one peppercorn – but only “if demanded.” đź’¸
Senior Tory Robert Jenrick is leading the charge, declaring it’s “about time Prince Andrew took himself off to live in private” because “the public are sick of him.” Ouch! With his royal titles relinquished and public opinion turning sour, is it time for Andrew to find new digs? đźŹ
MPs may soon investigate the Crown Estate’s handling of Andrew’s deal amid concern the arrangement isn’t benefiting public finances. The Treasury could be missing out on more substantial returns due to the peppercorn rent setup.
In the midst of this, Andrew’s connection with the notorious Jeffrey Epstein is back in the spotlight, leading him to drop his Duke of York title. Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s victims, reportedly views this as a victory as her new book hits the shelves. đź“š
Is this the start of a new chapter for Prince Andrew, or just the beginning of more royal drama? What do you think? 🤔💬
