Prince William has been accused of hypocrisy for attacking his cousins despite his public kiss with Princess Beatrice amid family turmoil.
Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, once two of the most beloved members of the younger generation of royals, have grabbed headlines for the wrong reasons over the past week.
Andrew and Ferguson’s daughters are being dubbed ‘a council in the heart’ by the monarchy after the former prince and his ex-wife’s scandals came to light.
The sisters are reportedly being forced to flee their royal residences. Prince William is being accused of being the driving force behind their potential downfall despite his public display of affection at a royal event.
The latest damning reports come after it was revealed how the sisters have lived rent-free in their royal residences for over 20 years, but their alleged ‘free charge’ now appears to have opened up a new debate about the pampered princesses’ place in the royal fold – if indeed there is one.
Now, while their mother Sarah Ferguson is still hiding from the furore surrounding her ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in the Austrian mountains, we are told that this has not stopped the former Duchess of York from ‘raging’ at the calls for her daughters to all but flee their royal residences and places the blame on one royal in particular – Prince William.
An insider claims, “Sarah is furious at the way this has turned out and she blames William for poisoning the king against her girls. She says there has been a very deliberate effort to turn the tide against Eugenie and Beatrice and she believes William has been the driving force.”
The insider continued: “As far as she’s concerned, they’ve become convenient scapegoats in William’s obsession with slimming the monarchy.”
Last weekend, however, the royals appeared to have put most of their alleged grudges aside to celebrate the wedding of Princess Anne’s son Peter Phillips to NHS nurse Harriet Sperling in the picturesque Cotswolds.
Beatrice, 37, and Eugenie, 35, who joined William in the idyllic ceremony, which took place in a typical village church.
Along with their husbands, the sisters were seen being greeted by William, with the prince appearing to lean over and kiss Beatrice on the cheek.
The wedding marks the first time the sisters have joined the royal fold so publicly since Christmas and after the arrest of Andrew on suspicion of misconduct in public office in February.
‘The wedding was a nice gesture, but in her eyes it doesn’t negate this cruel effort going on to equate them. Sarah thinks it’s deeply unfair that William seems to have set his sights on them.’
The York sisters reportedly believe their fate is in William’s hands, and they don’t want to get any further into William’s bad books. They know it doesn’t look good, but they haven’t given up hope.
Even ignoring their parents, especially Ferguson, who is speculated to make matters worse by coming at the future monarch with guns blazing.
