Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie to endure '£30m inheritance blow' because of King Charles
The two princesses are bound to be very disappointed
New reports claim Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are missing out on a whopping inheritance payday.
The two sisters have endured a string of changes following renewed scrutiny upon their father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
Andrew is now reportedly expected to vacate Royal Lodge by Easter. It comes after he was stripped of his titles and dukedom.
These decisions, made by King Charles, could mean Beatrice and Eugenie endure an eye-popping inheritance loss.
Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie to ‘miss out’ on inheritance
Reports claim that Beatrice and Eugenie will allegedly no longer be able to inherit the £30 million estate Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor once had a lease on.
A property expert has shed light on why Beatrice and Eugenie may have no claim on Royal Lodge, despite their father living their for over 20 years.
The former prince had signed a long-term living arrangement with the Crown Estate and was said to have maintained a 75-year-lease on the sprawling abode.
Andrew was therefore understood to have substantial occupancy rights. It is believed he had hoped to pass down the home to his daughters.
However, as new information emerged in recent months regarding Andrew’s link to Jeffrey Epstein, Andrew’s remaining royal titles were removed.
He was also issued a notice for him to vacate Royal Lodge.
Why Beatrice and Eugenie ‘aren’t entitled’ to Royal Lodge
Property expert Elliot Castle, of We Buy Any Home, claims that any possibility of inheritance has now been ruled out “entirely” for Beatrice and Eugenie.
Speaking to The Mirror, Elliot Castle explained: “[This] would only have been possible while the lease remained in place. Once that lease is surrendered or terminated, there is nothing to pass on. From a property standpoint, that closes the door entirely. Royal Lodge would revert fully to the Crown Estate, with no residual claim for Andrew or his daughters.”
He went on to say: “The key point here is that Royal Lodge is not just a home – it’s a valuable long-term leasehold asset. Initiating a formal process to remove Andrew earlier than expected effectively strips away the remaining financial and practical value of that lease. Reports suggesting a loss of around £500,000 reflect not just moving costs, but the loss of a heavily invested, long-term residential interest that would otherwise have remained in place for decades.”
“Royal Lodge offered security, status, and a long lease that justified significant personal investment,” he added. “Losing that arrangement early inevitably results in sunk costs that can’t be recovered. From a property expert’s point of view, it’s the difference between owning a long lease on a premium home and occupying accommodation at the discretion of someone else.”
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor expected to leave Royal Lodge by Easter
Meanwhile, royal observers are counting down the days for Andrew to move out of Royal Lodge.
According to the Daily Mail, Andrew could be out of Royal Lodge by Easter.
Royal Insider has contacted Buckingham Palace, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s representatives and representatives of Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice for comment.
The disgraced royal’s popularity plummeted after he was linked to late convicted sex offender Epstein, due to allegations against the royal from a victim of Epstein.
The late Virginia Giuffre alleged she was trafficked by Epstein and made to have sex with Andrew.
Andrew has always vehemently denied all allegations.
