Beatrice, Eugenie put through the ringer: ‘What’s the going rate for girls who can’t afford themselves’

Princesses Beatrice, Eugenie’s inability to self-finance their lives or proximity to the Royal Family sees them put through the ringer.

The writer that made these comments and digs is none other than writer Tessa Dunlop.

She shared her personal thoughts, following the National Audit with The Independent and pointed out that the vast majority of the public really is conveniently clueless about the rules that govern the Windsors.

For those unversed the new report that brought the girls back under the media’s clutches is the knowledge that they own the rights and uses to The Crown properties despite not being working royals. But the kicker has been that the King is said to be funding their apartments, a three-bedroom house – Ivy Cottage – in the grounds of Kensington Palace, and an apartment in St James’s Palace, from his private funds.

In respect to the ripple effect its had across the board she made some digs saying, “of course, if Beatrice and Eugenie really wanted to help the ailing king and keep the republican wolves at bay, they might consider relinquishing the royal titles they inherited from a man who is no longer a prince.”

Especially since they have husbands who “surely as traditional conservative men,” as Ms Dunlop puts it, “would be only too willing to pay for their families’ own accommodation.”

After all, “there is nothing more humiliating than being kept by one’s uncle-in-law, or is it the state?”

But it wasn’t until her concluding her remarks that she truly left no holds barred and that was when she said, “but exactly what the going rate should be for an ex-princess to live in a palace is anyone’s guess. Such are the conundrums of a constitutional monarchy.”
