Shocking detail on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s ‘crumbling’ home | Royal | News

The lease stated that the landlord must “repair, renovate, maintain, clean and maintain the 30-bedroom mansion and rebuild as necessary.”

It may come as no surprise that there were no inspections of the property during Andrew’s time living in his Windsor home, especially since photos taken last year show that the 30-room mansion is definitely showing signs of its age.

While there were no interior photos of the house, it appeared that the exterior paint of the house was peeling off and needed renovation.

Likewise, cracks were also seen in the walls of the property; This was another sign that it needed work.

The need for repairs actually put the former prince at a disadvantage, as it was reported that he would no longer be entitled to compensation for giving up his 75-year lease early.

It was initially believed he could receive around £488,342.21; but since the estate is in need of repairs, the former Duke can now leave the estate without receiving a penny.

The Royal Family is believed to want Andrew to leave the house before Easter, but an official move-in date has yet to be confirmed.

The King’s brother will reportedly move into Marsh Farm, a country house on the monarch’s private Sandringham Estate.
