Prince Andrew asks for work for his daughters at the taxpayer's expense
The requests of the controversial son of Isabel II confront him with his brother Carlos
Prince Andrew wants his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, to assign her two daughters, Beatriz and Eugenia, full-time official duties subsidized by the taxpayer, according to the British press. The second son of the British monarch, Andrew has also claimed a new accommodation at Kensington Palace, a request that has been blocked by Charles of England, the heir to the Crown.
Queen Elizabeth, 90, has found herself in the middle of the royal brawl between her two children, which has apparently reached a point where Andrés, 56, has written to his mother demanding that Beatriz and Eugenia play Defined full-time royal duties, subsidized by sovereign wealth funds, with which members of the British royal family are paid.
In the letter to the monarch, the draft of which was originally drawn up by the duke's personal secretary, Amanda Thirsk, her second son laments that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, William and Catherine, as well as Prince Henry come to overshadow the princesses when the sovereign dies and Carlos becomes king.
Andrés holds a position as a representative of British trade and business abroad while presiding over some charities and fulfilling a series of official commitments for which he receives an allowance.
According to the aforementioned tabloid, the queen was so surprised to receive the aforementioned letter, that she felt unable to respond and entrusted the matter to her private secretary, Christopher Geidt, who addressed the matter directly with Carlos.
According to this information, the eldest son of Elizabeth II considered that someone within the Government should inform her brother that although she will continue to play a formal role within royalty, the same will not happen with her daughters.
The life of Beatriz, the eldest daughter of the Duke of York and Sarah Ferguson, has already been in the spotlight in the past due to her high standard of living. The insistence of some British media in criticizing this gifted existence actually points to the waterline of the progenitor, a prince who would have bequeathed to his daughter his well-known love of the good life, fueled to a large extent by the contacts in high places that he has made him princely.
