Royal source savages Beatrice and Eugenie - 'just as entitled as Andrew and Fergie'

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie were said to be "just as entitled" as their parents, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, despite them appearing to be more approachable, according to a royal source.

The York princesses are beloved around the world for their various business endeavours and for supporting the monarchy whenever they can.

Beatrice and Eugenie are not working royals; however, they've always found pride in seeing themselves as "working, young, royal women " and mothers, according to reports.

But now a source has claimed that while the princesses have matured into "intelligent, polite women," their "rarified' upbringing taught them to be 'just as entitled as their parents".

They added that both the Duke and Duchess of York believe that their two girls "deserve" the gilded life of a princess and the bonuses that ensue, without the burden of royal duties.

The source told the Mail: "They were never going to be working royals but have benefited from their family connection.

"Andrew introduced them to many of his business contacts and foreign royals. They and Fergie have become friends with some shady people."

They added: "Beatrice and Eugenie grew up in this rarefied world in which there was always someone to do everything for you.

"That was illustrated when Beatrice had her BMW stolen in 2009 after leaving it unlocked with the car keys in the ignition.

"I think she was used to her police protection officer looking after such things.

"Whether you believe it was their decision [to not be working royals] or it was they and their father putting a brave face on things, he and they said they wanted careers instead of a life of ribbon-cutting. Andrew maintained it was their decision."

Beatrice and Eugenie have been busy promoting various causes close to their heart recently but were dealt a major blow following the recent new bombshells about their parents.

Fergie, as she is affectionately known, was slammed worldwide following the disclosure of an email she sent to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, in which she described him as a "supreme friend".

Meanwhile, the Duke was named in new files released related to the disgraced financier.
