Beatrice & Eugenie Reportedly ‘Trash-Talking’ William After His Threat to Strip Their Titles—They Have ‘Bad Feelings’ Toward Him
Princess Eugenie and Beatrice aren’t keeping their feelings secret from their cousin. Sources say that the Princesses are furious at Prince William for allegedly threatening to revoke their titles as Princesses after their father ex-Prince Andrew, got his titles stripped.
For now, reports from multiple outlets say that the Princesses will keep their royal titles and will still be styled as Her Royal Highness. However, with talks that Prince William will allegedly plan to remove their titles, they have quite a reaction.
The heir was speculated to have threatened his cousins of removing their titles so that their father could move out of the Royal Lodge, after journalist Emily Maitlis (who interviewed Andrew during his infamous Newsnight appearance) claimed that William put pressure on his cousins to confront their father . However, People reported that a meeting between the cousins never existed.
“Everyone’s telling them how lucky they are, but the fact that William was using that as a bargaining chip was something that still sits very badly with them,” an insider told the National Examiner. “They can’t help but fear it’s only a temporary reprieve.”
The decision reportedly made the sisters mad and “trash-talking” their cousin. “These bad feelings towards William will do them no good in the long run, but right now, the emotion is running sky-high,” says the insider. “They can’t help themselves. At the end of the day, they’re their parents’ daughters, very headstrong and defiant, and that’s really coming to the fore.”
Despite it all, the sisters are standing by their father. “They still love their father very much, even though they fully acknowledge he’s made terrible mistakes and is now paying for them dearly,” the source expanded.
When William becomes King, he does not have the authority to strip their royal titles as removing them would require an Act of Parliament. The Princesses will retain their titles in accordance with King George V’s Letters Patent of 1917.
The sisters will be allowed to attend royal events for the time being. But The Sunday Times claimed that Prince William will try to exclude his uncle Andrew from both public and private royal events, including his coronation.
