Princess Beatrice is reportedly deeply upset over the recent scandal involving her father, Prince Andrew. The 37-year-old was visibly distressed as she left Royal Lodge following her father’s announcement that he would no longer use his titles or honors. Following this declaration, further concerning allegations about Prince Andrew have surfaced, including claims that he has paid minimal rent for Royal Lodge over the past 22 years.
Royal sources have revealed that Beatrice has been significantly affected by the situation. She was overheard expressing her distress over the Sunday papers and appeared devastated by the unfolding events. The turmoil has put both Beatrice and her sister, Eugenie, in challenging positions, particularly as they are now mothers themselves.
Experts suggest that the sisters should consider relinquishing their princess titles to distance themselves from their parents’ controversies and pave their own paths in the world. Despite being exposed to their parents’ commercial ventures from a young age, Beatrice and Eugenie no longer receive public funds and balance private careers with charitable endeavors.
While not full-time working royals, their titles remain advantageous in business circles. Last year, the sisters were praised as the “Royal Family’s Secret Weapon,” showcasing their strength and compassion. The ongoing situation has prompted discussions about the future of the princesses and their connection to the royal family, with calls for them to assert their independence and individual identities.
