Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are once again keeping a low profile after they were notably missing from the Royal Ascot attendance with the royals.
There has been speculation about a possible eviction from their royal residences as King Charles is reportedly considering the notion. He has also made a landmark decision to have transparency over how much taxes the royals are paying and share a full audit report of expenses.
It was revealed that the King had been paying for his nieces’ lavish grace-and-favour homes.
It sparked curiosity over if the sisters would now be facing money problems to support their lifestyle. Norman Baker, an expert in royal finances and author, doesn’t believe that will happen.
He told Daily Mail that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson’s daughters have nothing to worry about cash despite the disgrace of their parents.
Beatrice and Eugenie both have “multi-million-pound” husbands Edoardo and Jack respectively.
The 37-year-old already shares a six-bedroom farmhouse in the Cotswolds with Edoardo, which includes a tennis court, a swimming pool and even a guest house. Her grace-and-favour is a two-bedroom apartment in exclusive St James’s Palace comes rent-free.
Meanwhile, Eugenie has her Portugal home and her grace-and-favour home, Ivy Cottage, is in Kensington.
Both sisters are non-working royals but have careers of their own.
“The daughters benefit from trust funds established for each of them by the Queen Mother in the 1990s and subsequently by the late Queen Elizabeth II as well,” Norman said.
“They were designed to ensure the absolute minimum would have to be paid in tax. Their father also set up a trust fund for them.”
The expert claimed that that Beatrice and Eugenie have “beyond the dreams of most ordinary people,” to have money problems.
Moreover, there is some doubt over the shady dealings that they have made when their father was not caught, but there is no confirmed report on the matter.
