‘Devastated’ Princess Beatrice ‘avoids Royal Lodge’ after Andrew drama, insider claims
Prince Andrew was recently the focus of the TV series 'A Very Royal Scandal' and is embroiled in a dispute over Royal Lodge, while a source has claimed that Princess Beatrice is "sick of being humiliated"
Princess Beatrice is “broken-hearted” and avoiding Royal Lodge following the release of an Amazon series about her father, a source has claimed.
Prince Andrew was the focus of ‘A Very Royal Scandal’ this month, a three-part series offering insights into the Duke’s notorious 2019 Newsnight interview.
Meanwhile, King Charles is embroiled in a dispute with his brother over the tenancy of the £30million Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park, where the Duke currently resides with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.
Charles is reportedly eager for Andrew to vacate the royal residence and move into smaller accommodation, while Andrew is reportedly struggling to maintain the £400,000-a-year upkeep costs.
With everything that’s been going on, a source has told New Idea magazine that Beatrice has been avoiding her parents’ lavish home and is apparently “sick of being humiliated”.
The source said: “It’s a stress-hole there and for some reason, Beatrice always gets stuck in the middle of things, playing peacemaker on behalf of her dad.
“She doesn’t want to be doing that anymore and she recognises it’s been a pattern all her life. No-one wants to be around him when he’s dealing with so much right now. Beatrice is broken-hearted, of course.”
They went on to say that it has been particularly difficult for her as she’s a “daddy’s girl”. She is now supposedly hopes “desperately” for the Amazon TV series “nightmare” to blow over.
A Very Royal Scandal starred Ruth Wilson as former BBC journalist Emily Maitlist, who conducted the interview, and Michael Sheen as Prince Andrew. It suggested Beatrice played a part in securing the interview with her father, something the New Idea source said has left the princess “devastated”.
