The never-ending royal perks.
Even after Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor lost all his royal titles and patronages, he still very far from a simple commoner.
In the last few days, the disgraced former Prince, former Duke of York has been pictured driving his brand new $100,000 Land Rover Defender – and outrage is building since it was likely given to him for free as a royal benefit.
Daily Mail reported:
“The former Duke of York, 65, took delivery of the new luxury 4×4 just before his last Christmas at Royal Lodge in Windsor.
Andrew looked furtive behind the wheel of the top-of-the-range Defender as he swept through the gates of his 30-room mansion over the weekend.”
Andrew’s car is brand new, only registered with the DVLA in early December.
Jaguar Land Rover has a 74-year-old deal with the Royal family, by which the royals are loaned a fleet of Land Rovers.
While Andrew has long benefitted from the deal, this new luxury car is sparking anger after his downfall.
“Jaguar Land Rover, a subsidiary of India’s Tata Motors since 2008, said: ‘We do not comment on any commercial client relationships’.”
