Princesses Show Unity Amid Rent Row

Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie made a high-profile joint appearance at their cousin Peter Phillips’ wedding, marking their first public outing together since Prince Andrew’s misconduct allegations. Arriving separately but uniting for a coordinated entrance with their husbands, they ensured maximum media attention. This move comes amid fresh scrutiny over their rent-free royal residences — a decades-old arrangement now under fire after a National Audit Office report revealed King Charles has been covering their rent using private Duchy of Lancaster funds, already discounted from market value. The upkeep of their homes is also paid for by taxpayer money via the Sovereign Grant. While the housing deal dates back to Queen Elizabeth II, Prince William reportedly wants a firmer stance on the issue. Despite earlier speculation they might skip the wedding to avoid attention, their attendance — alongside other senior royals including Prince William, who warmly greeted Beatrice — signals a continued effort to stay embedded in the family’s public narrative. The report has reignited debate over royal finances and property, with Buckingham Palace pledging transparency while acknowledging the conversation is far from over.
