Eugenie and Beatrice of York find themselves at the heart of Prince Andrew's problems. While Sarah Ferguson's ex-husband became persona non grata of the British royal family after being mentioned in the Jeffrey Epstein affair, he now lives in seclusion at the Royal Lodge, his home located within the Windsor estate . If Princess Anne's brother was still somewhat protected when Elizabeth II was still alive, since her death and Charles III's takeover, the father of Eugenie and Beatrice of York has been threatened by the King of eviction from his property for several months. Camilla Parker Bowles' husband notably stopped funding his little brother's private security and ended his annual allowance, which amounted to around 1 million pounds. Decisions that could impact the inheritance of his two daughters.
In the media columns Aberdeen LiveTerry Fisher, a property expert, claims Eugenie and Beatrice may not inherit the Royal Lodge despite Prince Andrew's 75-year lease. “Transferring the lease to non-working family members may require approval from the Crown Estate, particularly during the reign of King Charles, who may prioritize other uses of royal properties,” explains the specialist. Before adding: “While Andrew has substantial rights under the lease, he may still face limitations in passing it on to his family without special permissions.” If Sarah Ferguson's ex-husband is desperate to stay at Royal Lodge, the costs of maintaining and securing the lodge run into thousands of pounds a year. A colossal sum difficult to obtain since William and Harry's uncle's supplies were cut off.

Eugenie and Beatrice of York furious: the two sisters are impacted by Prince Andrew's troubles
If this year 2024 was marked for the British royal family by the cancers of Charles III and Kate Middleton, the crown did not attract the help of Eugenie and Beatrice of York to attend official engagements. Prince Andrew's daughters would also suffer from this situation, and would be “very angry” against Charles III. “They are very upset at having been ignored by the king, because they think they have a lot to offer,” confided one of their friends to Daily Beast. In the absence of the King and Princess of Wales on the front of the stage, it was above all Camilla Parker Bowles, Princess Anne, Prince Edward and his wife, Sophie, who provided “temporary work”. “It seems insane that the girls were not being used at all when they made it clear they wanted to be useful, especially when Prince Andrew was brought back into the family. They have done nothing wrong and should not have to suffer the sins of their father”, confides the relative of the nieces of Charles III.
