Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor gets £302,000 in compensation on his mansion lease
Reuters reported that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor benefits from £302,000 in compensation on his mansion lease. News.com.au described the sum as a massive payout over his eviction. We reviewed the headlines and summaries, not the full terms, so the basis and who pays are not confirmed here. Separately, the Herald and The Age reported yesterday that a judge ruled police search warrants against him unlawful; he has been questioned but not charged and denies wrongdoing.
The payout adds to the long-running public argument over the arrangements for members of the royal family who have stepped back from duties.
No direct effect in Australia.
Watch for the full terms and whether the payment is challenged.
