What about Beatrice & Eugenie?

[olderandnonthewiser]

I’m not sure what to think tbh. On one hand they must be so so mortified; on the other they enjoy all the perks of Royalty and their position in the RF despite their revolting father.

How do you see it?

It probably did. VG by her account had had a dreadful life. I am sure she had more street smarts than 2 spoilt princesses! If mummy told them uncle Jeffrey had suffered a grave injustice they probably wouldn’t have questioned it much, especially as he was the family benefactor!

These young women could not have been more polarised in their life experiences!

It may be to you. That doesn’t make it “weird”. My 20 something DDs call me “mumsy” occasionally. I’ll let them know they’re weird then!! FGS!

Yes. It's all messages...Charles wears a blue and yellow tie,that's support for Ukraine. Brooches have hidden meanings.

So Beatrice running the pap gauntlet is quite obviously her defiantly supporting both her parents
I expected no different to be honest and my only faint hope is she went there to give them a bollocking about what they have done to her and her sister
But if that was the case I think she would have gone in incognito

And possibly not looked so chipper afterwards.

On the odd occasion I've had to tear a strip of a family member or been involved in a full scale row with one I don't normally drive away grinning like a Cheshire cat.

But then we're all different after all.

Well we don’t know what the purpose of her visit was, and it doesn’t look that ‘social’ as she didn’t bring her children.

I think B and E need to distance themselves, certainly in public. I know they are a close family but I wouldn’t want my children around them. I wonder how their sons in law feel?

And the eyes of the press trained on them! They would be eaten alive if they stuck a nose out now! Have a titter of wit!

Best avoid museums with royal pictures if you are so squeamish 😀

She might have wanted to rage, shout, cry, berate them and demand answers face to face. And she would have known she would be seen!

That’s nonsense. You are making as assumption that you can’t possibly know. She
could equally have gone to have it out with them, or might have wanted to know if she was implicated. She might have had concerns about their state of mind. In her shoes, face to face conversations are a wise choice. Let’s face it, they could hardly go to her right now!!

Well... I know if I was in her position I would have got myself in there and out of there without anyone knowing.

Yes I think I’d have tried to get in unseen. How possible that is, I don’t know.

You’re not in her position, She is. For all you know she might have been too angry to care? Time will tell what they do. They at least should never let themselves be seen in public with A and S ever again.

Someone mentioned that they shouldn’t be seen at Sandringham at Christmas. If they don’t go, everyone who wants to think the worst of them will assume they are supporting their parents at RL. Beatrice was meant to go abroad to her ILs last and wasn’t able to travel. Maybe they are intending to go this year anyway?

Wonder if the ILs are concerned about what their sons have married into? Though to be fair, a lot of this is not new!

And in reality, if she had gone hiding in the back of a van, or some of the other suggestions on here, and was seen, can't you just imagine the drama on here! 😂I am not sure that if she needed to see them, the way she did it was so out of order

She might have gone for any reason.

Well they're going to have to put their noses out at some point unless they plan to stay self appointed hostages inside Royal Lodge forever and I can't imagine that the press pack will be going anywhere in a hurry because they're all going to want the money shot of them "breaking cover" on their front page.

Hopefully they'll pop out soon for a pint of milk, keep their eyes front and maybe even try and look a tiny bit sad (should induce some sympathy from the die hard royalists), not grin away cheerily. The press can get their shot, A&S can return to exile and life can carry on.

I agree with this.

And loud and clear the message is that they'll do what they can to make it look like they're doing something, but in reality they'll do nothing very much.

I honestly don't believe they as a whole think Andrew has done anything other than be a bit sleazy.

I'm sure they don't view Virginia Giuffre as a victim of anything.

On what evidence are you basing your wild assumption?

Or to tell PA to man up and talk to the police about what he knows and what happened. He is innocent after all 🧐

It's not nonsense at all.

We don't need to know why she went there in order to consider it poor judgement in terms of how it would look. Her parents have terrible judgement about all sorts of things and often appear tone deaf to public opinion so maybe the apple didn't fall from the tree.

I imagine they feel how most people would if their father was publicly accused of sex offences, had paid a huge sum to settle a case and explained a friendly stay with a convicted child sex offender as feeling it was the ‘honourable’ thing to do.

Most wealthy and privileged people care most about their (family) reputation.

Of course, they shouldn’t be judged for him being a wrong un. But if they keep being seen together it does come across as refusing to take it seriously, as it would if it were anyone who visited their dad when he’s admitted been accused of the above.

She’s probably got enough to deal with never mind giving a shit how it looks!

PA asked the Met police bodyguard to look for dirt on VG. That’s a good starting point. Doesn’t exactly scream concern does it ? He maintains he doesn’t remember ever meeting her so why did he want dirt on her ?

I wouldn’t be so sure. In May of this year, a former aide of Andrew’s - John Bryan - was secretly filmed telling a journalist that despite him working very hard to improve Andrews’ PR, the prince actually admitted to him that he had knowingly slept with underage girls. He referred to it as ‘bedding baby beauties’. If that’s true, it’s revolting. Only time will tell if we can add the charge of paedophilia to the accusations.

PA and his mother clearly did !!

I always felt sad for B with her Hanoverian face.

one of them is patron and founder of a slavery and trafficking charity.

Interestingly enough the 2023 accounts for the charity were 98 days late in filing and the 2024 accounts show the bulk of the expenditure going on some knees up gala night with the rest of the income/expenditure carried over to the next set of accounts.

Looking forward to seeing 'em 🙂
