Beatrice and Eugenie banned from Ascot

[Viviennemary]

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.

Couldn't give a shiny shite. Got far more pressing things to be concerned about, such as where my Wellingtons are for the car boot tomorrow.

The £10m that they each received from him might have affected that decision making though.

@StarCuratorAnd what part did E and B play in racing? None. It’s a fun day out for them. The Ruler of Dubai hasn’t attended Ascot since his third wife escaped and the divorce was here. She spilt the beans on the kidnap.

Jealousy is rarely more public than when a conversation about the royals are involved. Whether b&e get their privileges shouldn't be decided by their parents independently bad behaviour. They are royals by blood not behaviour. If the public feels they are only worthy when they've appeased the jealous they need to aim for the head consistently, not 2 women who just so happened to be born into it all.

If someone is just 'royals by blood' does that mean they can do anything they want? Like collect money and diamonds?

Interested

Descendants of land and cattle thieves. If you can acknowledge and accept that about the royals, you begin to see them as they really are.

For those who are saying that Ascot is just a fun outing, it's worth considering how much money is tied up with horse-racing and the extent to which the Royal Family are or have been implicated in the business side.

It's yet another cruelty ridden 'sport' of the sort the royals seem incapable of dropping despite touting their conservationist and eco-credentials at every opportunity.

The hypocrisy is nauseating.

Plus:
C3 sold off a stable of inherited racehorses (lovely ££millions in the sky rocket) because he has little to no interest in the 'sport' or the breeding of winners.

It's a mystery why he persists in trotting along (😛) with the farce.

Whether b&e get their privileges shouldn't be decided by their parents independently bad behaviour

There are an increasing amount of questions arising over their own behaviour.

At a minimum do you think it was wise for them to refuse independent ethics checks on their finances?

Yes.
QE2 asked or demanded a horse from some dodgy person but Charles wasn't as interested as his mother so sold off a lot of them for ££££££

Or it's possible they wanted to shield their accounts from scrutiny because the 'investment accounts' would reveal inputs of cash from unknown sources/ various shades of legality.

Those large open carriages that the royals ride around in at Ascot and other events remind me of giant versions of old fashioned Silver Cross prams minus the handles. Always makes me laugh and think how daft they look, I know some people like it and think it is part of tradition and history but to me it seems out of date and out of touch.

Does that 'they were adults at this time' also work for some of the women and girls abused?

It would appear that is only relevant when applied to the princesses and not the young woman who were coerced into recruiting. Not that B&E not being allowed to ascot in any way compares to the horrific crimes committed against epstein and Co's victims

Can you elaborate on that assertion ?

Probably.

Trafficked woman and girls who had no day in what happened to them, of course not, how could you even ask that question? Two princesses who were not trafficked and very privileged of course they should have known better

Have you evidence for that?

Epstein only grudgingly bought B+E a pair of BA flights to the US in premium economy.
I find it hard to believe he forked over $25 million to them.

Not all the girls were trafficked. Some of them worked and lived nearby epsteins house. Some of them were dropped off by their parents. Some of them were invited along by an older friend. The older non trafficked American girls in their late teens were capable of understanding right or wrong. There are obviously varying reasons for doing what they did. But they were the same age as the princesses. Some of these girls were involved in trafficking

This ‘news’ of B&E being ‘banned’ from Ascot has only come to us through leaks. Charles and the rest of them won’t address any of it publicly, but there seem more than happy to leak out anything that they think will show them in a better light.

Then they will flip the script when it suits and leak the opposite.

You need read up on trafficking. You don’t seem to understand what it entails very much at all.

You must know about QE2s love of racing and race horses. I hope this post will be enough elaboration for you! 😅
She was gifted many horses from Sheikh Mohammed of Dubai and UAE, 34 in total. Along with Prince Faisal of Saudi and others. They are classed as personal gifts but that's a very grey area given QE2 was gifted some whilst on official visits.

Our royals love the middle eastern countries and their rulers don't they...
Charles doesn't quite have the same love of racing as his mother did so he sold off a lot of them making £2M.
I think you will find this article covers all you are asking me to elaborate on!

The uk is such a laughing stock these days thanks to the Windsors that is hard to know if this is parody or not !

I think it is parody because you mention ‘royal blood’ - that’s the giveaway lol . Throw in ‘old families’ too
As if there a person standing who believes that in 2026

@simpledeer You know next to nothing about racing do you ? The horses from the gulf states were mostly for breeding purposes. The Queen bred horses. Reasonably successfully. Charles is less interested and has sold some of her breeding stock. In a world where one horse can be £2 million easily, that figure is not surprising. He is dispersing her stud mares and selling off some racing horses to downsize and these have raised more money. Fair enough really. The Queen raced mostly horses she bred and it was her hobby. Such was her knowledge and respect of breeding, she was gifted horses. So what? These rulers run commercial studs and they did not give her winners of the best races! Estimate was her best and he came from the Aga Khan. Who cares really?

I think you tagged the wrong person? 😊
