Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie ‘Will Use All the Leverage They Have to Stand Their Ground’ Against Royals (Exclusive)

Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are being ostracized from the royal family at the command of Prince William, as Examiner previously reported, but they’re not going to give up without a fight.

A source says Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson’s daughters are ready to lawyer up and fight fire with fire, which promises to plunge the monarchy into yet more turmoil.

“Beatrice and Eugenie are well aware that William would like to see them cut out, the same way their father and mother have been,” reveals the source, “and they just aren’t going to let that happen without pushing back hard.”

King Charles III stripped Andrew, 66, of his royal titles and ordered him to vacate Royal Lodge in October, but as Examiner readers know, it was William, 43, who urged his father to make the unprecedented call.

And as royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told the Daily Mail in February, it may fall on the future king to make a decision on the future of Beatrice, 37, and Eugenie, 35.

“They do understand why Charles and William had to treat Andrew the way he has, but they see no reason they should be punished for his sins,” says the source. “All they’ve done is keep their heads down and try to serve the Crown as best as they can, it makes no sense to banish them.”

According to British newspaper The Times, Beatrice and Eugenie still have homes within the royal palaces — for now.

“They feel strongly that they have a right to hang on to their royal homes and their ties to the family and will use all the leverage they have to stand their ground,” says the source. “There’s been some talk that they may resort to hiring lawyers and going to the press to make a stink.”

That’s not all the York sisters are prepared to do.

“They could do a tell-all,” reveals the source, adding that it’s a possibility that will become a lot more likely if William goes after Beatrice and Eugenie. “It’s certainly something they can use as a threat to try and get him to back off.”
