Although she is very close to Prince Harry and the rest of the monarchy, Princess Beatrice is going through a delicate moment
The best-kept secret of Princess Beatrice, Prince Harry’s cousin, has just come to light. As it has emerged, despite her closeness to the British Royal Family, neither she nor her sister receive official funding from the Crown. This is why they have had to fend for themselves.
It has been six years since the controversial interview that Prince Andrew of England gave to the program Newsnight, thus marking a turning point in his public life. In this appearance, he shared his version about the alleged friendship he kept with Jeffrey Epstein.
Since then, his daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie of York, have captured media attention on numerous occasions. However, despite all the controversies surrounding their father, both have remained very close to Prince Harry and the rest of the British Royal Family.
Nevertheless, their reality is very different from that of other members of the Royal House. Although they represent the Crown at certain events, they do not enjoy the same economic benefits as the rest. This is why they have had to take a series of measures to adapt to their current situation.
The secret of Princess Beatrice, Prince Harry’s cousin, uncovered: They don’t have state financial allocation
In recent years, Princess Beatrice of York and her sister have established themselves as crucial support for their father, especially after his withdrawal from public life. Together with their mother, Sarah Ferguson, they have become his family refuge.
So much so that the former Duchess of York currently spends long periods at Royal Lodge, Prince Andrew’s residence, to provide him with support and companionship. Meanwhile, his daughters visit him frequently, thus strengthening their family ties.
“Andrew keeps busy with the only support of his daughters. Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie bring their children to visit Andrew almost every weekend. They now spend much more time with him than in recent years,” they assured from the magazine Hello!.
But Prince Andrew’s private life has had unexpected consequences on his daughters’ routine. Despite their presence at certain official events, Prince Harry’s cousins do not receive any remuneration for their institutional work.
For this reason, several British media outlets claim that the sisters are preparing to take a new step in their role within the monarchy. All to “undertake a new and surprising royal move.”
A source close to Princess Beatrice and her sister has revealed to the Daily Mail that they could take on a greater number of royal commitments in the future. This decision seeks to reinforce the institution’s image and cover possible representation gaps.
However, the main obstacle facing Prince Harry’s cousins remains their status within the royal family. Not being considered top-tier members, they do not have state financial allocations or official salaries.
This setback has led to the need to find alternative ways to support themselves financially. Therefore, in light of this situation, Princess Beatrice and her sister have built professional careers outside the royal environment.
