Prince William Detested Princess Beatrice’s Convict Boyfriend, Plus An American Chap

British royal family news shows that Prince Harry and his cousin Princess Eugenie get along famously. Take for example his letting her stay in his old digs, Frogmore Cottage, the ones he rejected as unfit. She also is the only royal known to have come across the ocean to visit him in Cali since he defected. It’s also thought that he has a warm relationship with her sister, Princess Beatrice.

But can the same be said for the relationship between Harry’s brother and future king Prince William and Princess Beatrice? Apparently not as one outlet is spilling the beans on what William really thinks of Beatrice’s choice in men.

Royal Family News – Princess Beatrice is a Mom Now

According to GeoTV, Prince William’s disdainful thoughts about Princess Beatrice go back to her teens and early adulthood.

For instance, the Belfast Telegraph reported that the daughter of disgraced Prince Andrew, “once dated a convicted felon when she was just 17-years-old, and he was 24.”

To be more exact, “the man was accused of beating a man to death but was never awarded jail team, and instead got out with community service, after the manslaughter charge was dropped.”

Later, the person in question, “landed back in jail when he was invited to a family skiing trip, in violation of his parole.” Oh my that is a tad bit awkward.

For this Beatrice was in the headlines and her mom, Sarah Ferguson, felt it necessary to defend her daughter’s honor with a public statement: “As any parent will know, the most important element in a relationship with your child is trust. We all have our own journeys and have to learn our way, but Beatrice is a sensible girl … with many friends including Paolo. We must trust her judgment.”

Another pick of Princess Beatrice was allegedly not a fave of Prince William, either. That would be Dave Clark who has been described as a talkative American. When the two were both students at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, he apparently had the nerve to introduce himself to William. Those Americans, you can dress them up but you can’t take them out.

According to the Daily Mail, “William has the Spencer paranoia gene. Dave is a gregarious, chatty American and William is so private it hurts. He would accuse his dog of being indiscreet if it barked at someone else too often.” Which begs the question, what does he think of Harry’s picks?
