Royal Estates Rent Out Homes That Fail Energy Efficiency Standards The UK's royal estates, synonymous with tradition and prestige, have been caught out for renting homes that fail to meet basic energy efficiency standards.
An analysis by The Guardian found over 100 rental properties on the duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall, as well as the Sandringham estate, have Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ratings of F or G.
This revelation is embarrassing for King Charles and Prince William, who have made high profile environmental commitments.
