Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is pictured at wheel of brand new £75K Land Rover Defender 'he was given for free' before spending last Christmas at Royal Lodge
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 Mountbatten-Windsor has been pictured driving a brand new £75,000 Land Rover Defender, likely given to him for free as a royal perk.
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.
He was also photographed driving it on Boxing Day, followed by what appeared to be royal security in a brand new Land Rover Discovery.
Andrew's car is so new it was only registered with the DVLA earlier this month.
Jaguar Land Rover has just been handed a fresh Royal Warrant by Queen Camilla, which dates back to 1951 when it was first given the honour by King George VI.
As part of that 74-year-old deal with the Tata-owned car business, the royals are loaned a fleet of Land Rovers. Sometimes they are allowed to test new 4x4s before they reach the market.
Andrew has long benefitted from the deal but his new luxury car will, no doubt, spark further anger about his perks given he has been stripped of all his titles by the King.

The Queen and Prince Philip loved Land Rovers. Her Majesty herself is believed to have owned around 30 of them.
Her husband's coffin was carried on its final journey to his funeral in Windsor in a custom Land Rover Defender.

Jaguar Land Rover, a subsidiary of India's Tata Motors since 2008, said: 'We do not comment on any commercial client relationships'.
The former Duke of York, 65, spent Christmas away from his family as he is shunned due to his close friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Sources have claimed that he spends his time holed up inside Royal Lodge, Windsor, watching TV. He only really leaves the house to ride a horse from the nearby royal stables.
