Andrew does not pay for his daughters security 'when not on official duties'. They don't do official duties.
Even as gad about students we paid for their 'security'
The daughters of the Duke and Duchess of York are at the centre of a row over the "phenomenal" costs to taxpayers of their round-the-clock security, writes Andrew Alderson. Bodyguards for Princess Beatrice, the Queen's 19-year-old granddaughter, currently on a gap year, cost an estimated £250,000 annually. Protection for her sister, Princess Eugenie, 17, is a similar amount, say security sources.Princess Beatrice has recently travelled to Argentina, Brazil and Belgium. While she was in Spain, Scotland Yard is reported to have sent for reinforcements to keep up with her late-night party-going.Critics say that the bills are difficult to justify when other grandchildren of the Queen, such as the Princess Royal's children, Peter Phillips and his sister Zara, a high-profile equestrian, do not have security The Independent
His daughters' extravagant wedding that Andrew insisted upon having cost us at least £2 million in security. Her ridiculous carriage parade etc - all so 'their royal status' could be enhanced!
His ridiculous daughter even started publishing her daily engagement diary in a magazine - forcing the police to protest this made securing her impossible!
Andrew and his daughters (and his ex wife) have done more to advance the case for Republicanism than any other royal (Margaret would have taken the prize for that in previously had the press not been gagged).
Put Meghan and Harry next to Andrew and Fergie and I think Meghan and a Harry have done less to undermine 'royalty' by some distance.
In fact, so odious in Andrew in his behaviour, it's likely the 'insider' anti Meghan stories come from him!
Let's get rid of 'royalty' altogether.
