Palace breaks silence on claim William threatened to ‘take Beatrice and Eugenie’s title’ | Royal | News

Kensington Palace has broken its silence over allegations that Prince William threatened to strip Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie of their titles if their father did not vacate the Royal Lodge. This week journalist Emily Maitlis claimed the Prince of Wales had given his cousins ​​an ultimatum to encourage them to ensure their father, Prince Andrew, leaves the 30-room royal home.

Maitlis claimed on the News Agencies podcast that there was a meeting between Prince William and the princesses. At the meeting, Maitlis claimed William told Eugenie, 35, and Beatrice, 37, that their princess titles would be re-examined if they did not encourage their father to leave the Crown Estate estate. However, Kensington Palace said no meetings are currently taking place.

Mirror reported The palace said William, 43, would not have the opportunity to take on his cousin’s princess titles because he is not a monarch.

The story is the latest in the ongoing Royal Lodge saga, with calls for Andrew, 65, to leave his 30-bedroom mansion as a result of his previous dealings with late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Although Andrew denied the accusations against him and stopped using his royal titles, this was not enough to satisfy the public, according to the YouGov poll; Many people apparently do not want the King’s brother to continue residing in the 30-room royal home.

Although Andrew has a lease at the Royal Lodge until 2078, he is believed to be open to the idea of ​​leaving and moving to a smaller royal home.

The prince is reportedly looking at Frogmore Cottage as a potential residence, while his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, who has lived with him for years, has her sights set on Adelaide Cottage.

Reports that the prince had requested two houses sparked public discontent towards the divorced couple.

Buckingham Palace has yet to confirm what is happening at the Royal Lodge and where the prince will be moving to.
