Eugenie and Beatrice Align with William Amid Ongoing Family Tensions
Catherine and Harry’s daughters appear to have made a calculated decision regarding their royal allegiances as their father’s troubles escalate.
The Duke of York, stripped of his royal titles and patronages in 2019 by the late Queen Elizabeth, has resurfaced in the headlines following renewed interest in his ill-fated Newsnight interview related to his controversial scandal.
Adding to the strain, Andrew’s ongoing dispute with his brother, King Charles, over Royal Lodge—a 30-room mansion—remains unresolved as Andrew refuses to vacate, frustrating the King.
Amidst this backdrop, the daughters have aligned with the 'winning team' between the Wales and Sussex households, aiming to safeguard their future positions. According to an insider, while they have no issues with Meghan Markle and Harry, they recognise the growing influence of William and have chosen to support him for the sake of their long-term standing within the family.
Their loyalty to William, and naturally to Catherine, remains strong, and they are mindful not to take any action that could upset them, especially during such a sensitive period.
The source adds, “It’s clear that William is keeping track of who stands by him, and those who don’t could face repercussions. The daughters of Andrew are simply unwilling to risk alienating William, so they’ve distanced themselves from Meghan Markle and Harry.”
