The words “blood” and “stone” come to mind: former royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor appears to be reluctantly giving up the lease on another home, in the wake of his disgrace due to his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.
Mountbatten-Windsor has reportedly asked to end his lease on East Lodge – which is about five miles from his previous home at Royal Lodge in Windsor. He left Royal Lodge last year to move back to Sandringham, after being widely condemned for his links to Epstein, a convicted sex offender, though he has always strongly denied wrongdoing.
But now, in a move that looks a lot like “whack-a-mole” (or “whack-a-prince”), he is letting go of a property. Again.
East Lodge, the property at the centre of the dispute, is a Grade II-listed cottage believed to have been used as accommodation for Mountbatten-Windsor’s staff. Mountbatten-Windsor has now decided to cut ties completely.
But the move seems entirely to be a means for Mountbatten-Windsor to look sorry without saying (or doing) much at all, actually. And sure, he might be seeking to appease us taxpayers by giving up one of his last few remaining perks.
East Lodge, after all, was originally part of an arrangement with the Crown Estate when he was (then) Duke of York, with ground rent costing £13,000 a year. A Public Accounts Committee inquiry is due to begin later this year to look at all royal properties leased by the Crown Estate.
But I tell you what would be much more welcome: a full and frank account of the nature of Mountbatten-Windsor’s true relationship with Epstein.
A no-holds-barred apology to the female victims caught up in his web of lies. A response to the outrageous claims that he charged taxpayers for massages and excessive travel costs while working as the UK’s trade envoy and an explanation for those shocking photos, in which we saw Mountbatten-Windsor bent over an unnamed woman lying on the floor.
Rather than dazzling us with the “tragedy” of being forced to give up yet another stately home tenancy agreement, how about an agreement (at last) to work with the US legal authorities to testify about what he really knew about Epstein? Now that’s a “move” we could really get behind.
