The former Duke of York Andrew surrendered his royal titles and the Royal Lodge for his daughters Princess Eugenie and Beatrice, a royal expert has claimed.
Speaking to Fox News Digitalsaid the royal expert: “He held on to his last shred of status for as long as possible, but what he didn’t want to do was let his daughters, who he is so protective of, be stripped of their titles and royal lives.”
Helena Chard further said that Andrew has always pushed his daughters’ status in the royal family.
The former Duke of York was “furious” when Eugenie and Beatrice lost their security protection in 2011 because they were not senior working royals, she said, adding: “As such, he will fight tooth and nail to keep his daughters protected.”
The royal expert went on to say that Beatrice and Eugenie’s royal titles will not be withdrawn with Andrew’s agreement to “give up his titles and move out of the Royal Lodge.”
“They will also be free of his muddy water,” she added.
“Despite Andrew and Sarah’s misfortune, Beatrice and Eugenie have retained their royal titles and status,” the expert said, adding: “King Charles loves and values his nieces and is keen to protect them from further disruption.”
“It’s a win-win situation for everyone, and certainly a relief for Andrew and Sarah. It eases their worries about their daughters’ future roles in the royal family.”
