Sarah Ferguson mother throws major dirt on Andrew Mountbatten Windsor\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sarah Ferguson\u2019s mother is attacking Andrew Mountbatten Windsor in a latest jibe.<\/p>\n

The mother of Andrew\u2019s ex- wife says that former member of the Royal Family lacks \u2018character.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Susan Barrantes, told Italian magazine Gente: “He’s a good-looking boy and has a heart of gold to the point where he would be without any money himself to help someone, but he just hasn’t got any character… absolutely none.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cIf only he had character, perhaps his marriage wouldn’t have broken up.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Andrew is being vacated from his longtime home at the Royal Lodge.<\/p>\n

The Sun on Sunday reports: \u201cThere are GDPR and rights of privacy involved, so we will not be providing the name of the property. There are also security issues that are of relevance.\u201d<\/p>\n

This comes as Andrew is called out for using his royal privileges to find leeway\u2019s for his daughters.<\/p>\n

The former Prince, who is father to Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, is accused of getting a property under their name and topping up with a peppercorn rent strategy.<\/p>\n

Royal writer Kit Roberts writes for Express: \u201cAndrew, who was formally stripped of his title as Prince and the Duke of York, had taken advantage of a rental agreement on royal properties. This included his own residence at Royal Lodge, actually less a lodge than a multi-million pound mansion. His agreement on the property saw Andrew paying what’s called a ‘peppercorn rent’. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a legal term for a symbolic ‘payment’ of a ‘peppercorn’, ie something of low value, to establish that someone is effectively getting something for free, or very little,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sarah Ferguson mother throws major dirt on Andrew Mountbatten Windsor\u00a0 Sarah Ferguson\u2019s mother is attacking Andrew Mountbatten Windsor…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":187609,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,156,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-187608","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187608","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=187608"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187608\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/187609"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=187608"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=187608"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=187608"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
