00:00A spending watchdog has revealed new details about royal housing arrangements, prompting
00:06fresh scrutiny of how some properties linked to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor are managed.
00:11A National Audit Office report found Andrew received rental income from subletting cottages
00:16on an estate he leased while the King pays rent for accommodation used by Princesses
00:22Beatrice and Eugenie through private funds. Critics have questioned whether some arrangements
00:28remain appropriate, while palace sources say rental payments cover relevant costs and
00:33do not add to public spending. MPs are expected to examine the findings in further detail.
00:40The report makes no finding of wrongdoing and sets out factual arrangements.
