Prince Andrew has been living free of charge at Royal Lodge, a 30-room Windsor mansion, under a 75-year lease signed with Crown Estate in 2003.
According to the BBC, instead of paying annual rent, he prepaid around £8 million for renovations and future rent – effectively buying out his lease.
The agreement allows him to stay without ongoing rent payments but requires him to maintain the property.
Prince Andrew's rent has been described as a “peppercorn”, a nominal amount such as £1 per annum usually used in long-term leases as a symbolic legal payment rather than a commercial payment.

SNP MPs say not many people in Parliament disagree with stripping Andrew of his title
An SNP MP has said it is unlikely that many in Parliament would “disagree” with Prince Andrew being stripped of his royal titles.
The SNP is putting forward a motion to pressure Sir Keir Starmer's government to strip Andrew of his title, which would require an act of parliament to pass.
The SNP's Stephen Gessings told BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland program that stripping Andrew of his title would be “a good thing”.
He said: “I think he needs to abandon them in the way that they are formally abandoned by an Act of Parliament. I'm not sure there will be many people in Parliament who would disagree with that.
“This is a move you can take away and if it brings some comfort to the victims, I think that's a good thing.”
