MPs push inquiry into Prince Andrew's Royal Lodge | JQJO

MPs on the public accounts committee are pushing to probe Prince Andrew’s Royal Lodge arrangements, with Keir Starmer signalling he supports MPs questioning him about the Windsor residence. Ed Davey urged the committee’s Conservative chair, Geoffrey Clifton-Brown, to launch an inquiry, as scrutiny mounts over the 30-room property’s lease and peppercorn rent. The National Audit Office may provide an opening for hearings in the new year. Pressure has intensified amid fresh allegations in Virginia Giuffre’s memoir; Andrew denies wrongdoing. Chancellor Rachel Reeves and others called for transparency and value for taxpayers.
