Caption: Princess Beatrice could be left homeless
PRINCESS Beatrice could be left without a home to call her own after her sister Princess Eugenie weds James Brooksbank in their royal wedding in October.
Her father, Prince Andrew, is thought to be cancelling his lease at the four-bedroom apartment his two daughters share on the ground of St James’ Palace.
The Duke of York pays the Queen £20,000 in annual rent for the property, which must be paid as they are not working royals. It is a generous discount, as similar-size properties in the area can fetch up to eight times as much.
In 2008, Princes Eugenie and Princess Beatrice refurbished their shared apartment with £250,000 of taxpayers’ money.
Now the Duke of York is thought to no longer pay for the flat at St James’ Palace, it leaves Princess Beatrice, who lives in New York, without a place in the UK to call her own.
However, Prince Andrew does have a 30-bedroom Royal Lodge mansion on the Windsor royal estate if the eighth-in-line does need a place to stay when she visits from across the pond. Read more from EXPRESS.
