Summary
The idea of two princesses living in luxury while the King pays their rent may have seemed normal in days gone by – but surely not in 2026. Beatrice and Eugenie, the daughters of former prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, have been enjoying that very arrangement despite being non-working royals. So, who are Beatrice and Eugenie? How have they navigated the scandal over their parents' links to Jeffrey Epstein? And is it right the King still pays their rent? Niall Paterson is joined by Sky's royal correspondent Laura Bundock.
