Prince William's Ultimatum: Strip Royal Titles from Andrew's Daughters if He Doesn't Leave Royal Lodge, Report Suggests
In a shocking twist, Prince William is said to have threatened to strip his nieces, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, of their royal titles unless their father, Prince Andrew, moves out of the lavish Royal Lodge. The claim comes from Emily Maitlis, a BBC journalist who sat down with Andrew in 2019 for his infamous "car crash" Newsnight interview.
According to Maitlis, William allegedly told the princesses that if their father doesn't vacate Royal Lodge, he will re-examine the state of their own titles. The pressure on the princesses was said to be intense, as they are currently allowed to hold royal titles but face uncertainty about their future roles in the monarchy.
The report suggests that Andrew's decision to relinquish his royal title and step down from public life has put him at odds with William, who is determined to ensure his father moves out of Royal Lodge. Maitlis claimed that King Charles planned to meet with Andrew at Royal Lodge last week, but the meeting was cancelled due to security concerns.
The palace has been tight-lipped about the situation, but sources close to the royal family have revealed that Andrew has reportedly agreed to leave Royal Lodge. However, he is allegedly demanding that he be allowed to move into Frogmore Cottage, which was once Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's home, while his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson will be allowed to stay at Adelaide Cottage.
Experts warn that if William becomes king, the princesses' roles in the monarchy could be significantly reduced. "They're valuable assets, and I'm certain they'll get involved with royal duties when William becomes king," said Ingrid Seward, a royal author and editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine. Palace sources have confirmed that the sisters are aware of William's plans for them.
The situation has sparked tension within the royal family, with some sources describing it as "unprecedented." The palace has yet to comment on the allegations, but the fallout from Andrew's decision to step down is likely to continue in the coming weeks and months.
