For all three days, Beatrice’s surprise nuptials dominated the headlines and everything was warm and fuzzy. Now apparently the press is back to being cold and prickly, criticizing both Beatrice and her sister Princess Eugenie.
Should Princess Beatrice And Prince Beatrice Get Real Jobs?
It all went south during Channel 5’s Jeremy Vine program. Nana Akua and Jemma Forte were talking about Prince Andrew’s eldest daughter’s wedding to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi when one of them made a rather forward suggestion.
It happened after Vine asked if it was right for the British taxpayers to pay for Beatrice’s wedding. Forte jumped into the fray saying, “I think having it much smaller, fewer photographs was appropriate in feeling the mood of the nation. Especially with Prince Andrew.”
Is It Right For The UK Citizens To Foot The Bill For Royal Weddings?
Vine persisted, asking, “Don’t you think that if you are paying for it you want to see it?” to which Akua responded, “I just don’t think we should be paying for it if I am totally honest. I don’t really want to see the fact that we are because I don’t want to see it.”
Then she added the kicker, “They need to go out and get some real jobs.”
Vine kept right on stoking the fire by saying, “Princess Anne had the same thing, regarding whether to ask for the HRH title for Zara and she decided not to. Andrew and Fergie pressed for it for their daughters and it comes with other things, security and stuff. Maybe somebody should have stopped that.”
Are The British Taxpayers Tiring Of Tinding The Royals’ Lifestyles?
This witty repartee comes after a royal watcher divulged in March that Uncle Prince Charles rejected Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie from duties whereby they would represent Grandma Queen Elizabeth.
Royal watcher Katie Nicholl told True Royalty TV that Prince Andrew wanted his daughters to have roles within The Firm but Prince Charles allegedly said that the gals had to, “go and make it on their own.” Of course, at this point it doesn’t matter what Andrew wants, does it?
According to Nicholl, “Eugenie and Beatrice wanted to help granny but they also wanted to have jobs. Of course, then you are in a sticky situation, again it’s half in half out. It was Charles who swept in and said much to Andrew’s annoyance they have got to go and make it on their own.” See what you started, Harry and Meghan?
