Royal experts have discussed why King Charles should seriously consider the future of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. Richard Fitzwilliams, a leading royal commentator, believes the princesses’ lavish lifestyles have always sat uncomfortably with the British public. Princess Beatrice reportedly took 17 holidays in 2015 while earning £19,000 at Sony as an international production analyst. Speaking to the Express, Mr Fitzwilliams explains: “People were asking then what the point of them was and how they got their money?”
He added: “Beatrice and Eugenie are now both married with jobs, and perhaps the way forward is – like with the Sussexes – not to strip them of their titles but an agreement that they do not use them.”
Since their alleged refusal to co-operate with Prince William over the secrecy surrounding their finances, things have only got worse for Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. Their father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, was arrested last month on suspicion of misconduct in public office, leaving his daughters devastated.
And both princesses are repeatedly mentioned in the latest tranche of Epstein files, which reveal they lunched with convicted paedophile Epstein in Palm Beach, Florida, less than a week after his release from prison for soliciting a child for prostitution.
At the time, Eugenie was 19, and Beatrice was 21. Mr Fitzwilliams says that although they were with their mother, Sarah Ferguson, “they were adults.”
While Beatrice and Eugenie are not directly implicated in wrongdoing, they may be damned by their parents’ association with Epstein, amid growing calls from ministers for a formal investigation into the York Family’s wealth.
It comes as the sisters have reportedly been banned from Royal Ascot this year as part of a wider effort to distance the monarchy from the York family’s scandals.
Beatrice and Eugenie were caught in the middle of the storm as their parents plunged into further humiliation, after more details about their dealings with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein emerged earlier this year, by the Department of Justice.
Being named in the Epstein files is no indication of any wrongdoing.
