The royal family

Beatrice and Eugenie banned from Ascot

Beatrice and Eugenie have been banned from the royal box at Ascot and from royal events in the foreseeable future. That's according to a headline in the Daily Mail. A little part of me feels a bit sorry for them as they're not their parents. I don't like them much but they do seem to symbolise all that's wrong with the royals. Money and immense wealth and priviledge for very little return.

@YourBreezyPanda I don't know that a Reddit post with unattributed information is particularly helpful to the debate.

The following information comes from the Farmers Weekly in 2023 - it was the only article I could find that looked specifically at top 10 landowners, rather than looking at individuals or nobility. The diagram of proportions owned is helpful.
The one inaccuracy that I am aware of is that the Duke of Buccleuch and Anders Holch Povslen have since swapped places.

Exactly .

There is some utter nonsense written here claiming William only drove Andrew once! It’s is easy to disprove - just google for goodness sake .

William was an active participant in the Andrew rehabilitation and this current PR is a desperate attempt to distance William from Andrew for only William’s benefit.
It does not and will not work.
People are not stupid. Well most people aren’t stupid .

And as if William would be ordered around due to ‘ hierarchy’ or respect for his father .
Charles has been working while being treated for cancer - what has William done? Less than ever .William couldn’t even be bothered to learn a few lines for the coronation . An 8 year old could do it. .No respect there at all

In my opinion William was active in the rehabilitation of Andrew mainly for selfish reasons - got to keep the gravy train on the tracks .

And William has links to the files via his charities. Still not a word from him ( the spokesperson issued statement on the day he went off to the middle east was almost insulting it was so calculated)

But people are just that stupid, they are more seduced by bickering about Beatrice/Eugenie, mocking the Sussexes than talking about the heir and his own dodginess 🤷🏽‍♀️

@Ukisgaslit you haven’t answered my earlier question, you said we are constantly being told that William has violent rages, who is constantly telling us this? and where did you get this information from?

The same place lots of posters here get all their negative information on Harry and Meghan, which they seem quite willing to believe. It appears the burden of proof is higher when discussing the precious heir.

There are dozens of articles on William's temper. He is always 'incandescent with rage'. There are reports of his temper from childhood, even Diana made mention of it. It's not surprising really. In a system where you are indulged and coddled and surrounded by enablers and extreme wealth and privilege from birth, I suppose it's only natural to have limited emotional regulation and anger management.

I’m open to evidence. But I’m fairly sceptical about the veracity of all that’s produced by the Telegraph now, sadly, after yesterday’s IPSO judgement. Call me naive, but their standards aren’t what I had imagined them to be.

Ian Fraser complained to the Independent Press Standards Organisation that Telegraph.co.uk breached Clause 1 (Accuracy) of the Editors’ Code of Practice in an article headlined “We earn £345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five ho...

We don’t actually know what they have and haven’t done . We don’t know if they have benefited financially from Epstein and other dubious characters .
We do know that they have enjoyed luxurious holidays , designer clothes etc.
We do know that both have spent considerable time in the ME using their titles for “ business” reasons.
We also know that they refused to allow an ethics check on their investments.

@Mylovelygreendress We don’t know everything they may have done but we do know some of it.

Eg in Entitled it discusses a legal case in London in which it emerged in documents that dubious overseas contacts of AMW had made cash payments to “Eugenie York” for reasons that made no sense.

Interesting footage. Having met Camila Tominey, and mixed with her over a few days, her faux innocent remarks about Harry don't surprise me. She loathes him and Meghan and it affects her journalistic skills, what ones she has anyway

So you can’t then. How about you drop your hyperbole? Funny isn’t it when the tabloids claim anything derogatory about William it’s immediately believed by posters like you and taken as fact no questions asked, but anything pro royal is a lie.

BigWillyLittleTodger · 03/03/2026 14:22

And let’s face it the only brother who we lknow for a fact that has actually been violent is Harry,, punching his security guard and the drummer the late Taylor Hawkins.

Ukisgaslit · 03/03/2026 14:36

@BigWillyLittleTodger

You can dismiss newspapers as long as you dismiss all newspapers - but you don’t do you?

But you can’t ignore video evidence.

But are choosing to ignore the video so this is pointless .
Blinding yourself to some facts is how royalists exist in 2026 I suppose .

I have not read your entire post but much as been answered elsewhere
But one of your points made me laugh
you praise William for encouraging Band E to have their finances examined yet seem to have missed the fact that William has refused to do the same himself .

The absolute hypocrisy.

The way I understand it, he may have had his finances examined for ethics - he just isn’t releasing details about them publicly. I don’t think he’s asking E and B to tell everyone about their finances, just to make sure they are ethical.

Chin up @BigWillyLittleTodger, they cannot prove it , all they have are opinions, feelings and a very obvious pro republican agenda to smear William because outside of the mn echo chambers he is popular! 🤷‍♀️
the only proof you may well be provided will be the same as the proof that is claimed as false when it’s about other people.
the more you are attacked , the more you get piled on equate to just how much they want you to be quiet.
remember every accusation is a form of confession.

Good lord, that's a very interesting statement coming from you jeffgdblum when I think what you are like on the Harry and Megan hate threads

I could say the exact same thing about you ! But I would at least have the good manners to spell your name correctly.

Meghan is anti Kate and thus man child Harry is now anti Kate.

Eugenie is still friendly with them both when other members of the family are not and have drawn a line after H&M’s conduct which includes calling Kate a racist and portraying her as mean and nasty.

I think this fits with Eugenie being rude to Kate in the past ie she is happy to see Kate mocked and smeared.

Harry was indeed very close to Kate pre Meghan but has happily turned his back on her much like he has dine to his brother and his father in order to pander to MM.

This is all speculation. The only people who know the truth for sure are the Princess of Wales and the others referred to. Isn’t it better to stick to discussion of known facts instead of rumour and gossip that may be entirely inaccurate and cruelly unfair?

God knows there are enough established facts without resorting to this.

Totallyfedupnow · 03/03/2026 16:40

Aaaaaand… getting back to the Yorks, whom this thread is really supposed to be about…

I am no particular fan of either of them, I’ve never understood how they could have remained so uncurious about the allegations that have been made against AMW for years and so silent about the plight of the Epstein victims, and I strongly suspect they’ve financially benefited from connections with dodgy pals of their parents in ways that are still yet to fully emerge.

Having said that I do have a tiny bit of sympathy. Nobody chooses their parents and it is a hell of a curse to be landed with those two. Plus, like most of the rest of us, they clearly had great respect for TLQ who seemed to think their father walked on water, so I can see why calling his behaviour out within the family would have been difficult if they had had concerns. Also, while I think they should give up their titles and flats in royal palaces, I can see why that’s not as straightforward now as it might have been, say, if they’d dropped their titles upon marriage. By effectively volunteering for the same punishment as their father at this point, it would look like they were admitting to the same alleged crimes - even though by several leagues of magnitude they are nowhere close.

I am pretty sure William didn’t expect any findings from an ethical analysis to be made public.
Equally - he doesn’t have to share his finances with the public- why should he? It’s NOT PUBLIC MONEY so why should he??
If you think it’s hypocrisy -fine. You put your P60/accounts/spending on here with your name redacted so we can examine them.
Thats what you are expecting HIM to do but not anonymously.
Why shouldn’t his accounts be private??

Didn't realise an inadvertent missed letter from a name was 'bad manners' and such a crime! 😅

You are welcome to spell my name how you like, I'm not bothered.

billysboy · 03/03/2026 17:00

lots of gossip flying about I am sure about he said , she said etc etc

The royal family as a whole are still protecting Andrew and his ex wife etc because if they didnt they would soon start slinging some mud around and tell all to various media etc

They are being seen to do the right thing in their eyes

Andrew is a Nonce and a parasite , Sarah is another parasite grifting her way along and not bothered about marketing her daughters who in turn have only learned how to behave from some pretty foul parents

They are adults and should make their own judgements

The whole Royal family of which I am a fan of some of them need to understand about transparency and accountability

I am still amazed how so many people connected with Epstein there are in the files however no one saw anything and no one heard anything , amazing !

BillericayDickie · 03/03/2026 17:01

It seems to me both brothers have tempers. The difference is that when PW physically assaults Harry, the fans find it funny. When harry does it they find it terrible.

back to the Yorks. They should step back.

HappilyFreeNow · 03/03/2026 17:31

Just get rid of this whole wider ‘royal’ family.
Keep the immediate line of succession for now - ie William and then George, but the rest of them just need to get proper jobs and no ‘Grace and favour’ benefits or privileges.
