Royal plot exposed: Prince Andrew's plans for Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice

The royal dad has high hopes for his daughters. - by New Idea

It’s long been rumoured that Prince Andrew is secretly the Queen’s favourite child.

A new report reveals the eighth-in-line to the throne may have an ulterior motive for staying in his 93-year-old mother’s good books.

Watch the moment Prince Andrew melted the Queen's heart - when he walked Princess Eugenie down the aisle.

According to The Express, Andrew is said to be deeply concerned with keeping his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, at the heart of the royal family for fear of them losing them plum position when the monarch eventually dies.

This afternoon, my sister and I attended a Garden Party at Buckingham Palace in support of Her Majesty. I really enjoyed meeting such a diverse group of people who were all invited in recognition of their work in their respective communities.

Royal editor for the Evening Standard, Robert Jobson, says: “Andrew has made a tremendous effort to keep Beatrice and Eugenie close to the Queen in order to assure their future as fully paid-up members of ‘The Firm’.”

A palace source says: “[Andrew] fears that they will be totally sidelined when the Queen dies.”

Prince Andrew, who shares his daughters with his ex wife, Sarah Ferguson, was reportedly upset that the lack of funding would impact the girls' futures. 

“He fears that they will be totally sidelined when the Queen dies,” a source told The Sun. 

They added: “Andrew has always wanted his daughters to be full-time royals.

“He sees it as a slight on him and them if they are not," they added. ​

Happy Father's Day!

After the Queen dies, Prince Charles will ascend the throne and Prince William will become the Prince of Wales.

This could even mean that Meghan and Harry's baby Archie could command a larger role in the family, as he will be the grandson of the reigning monarch.

However, the roles for Andrew, who was once second-in-line to the throne behind Charles, and his family are less clear-cut. 

It is believed, however, that Prince Edward, the Queen’s youngest son, will become Duke of Edinburgh after Prince Philip’s death, and Charles’ accession to the throne. 

As for Beatrice and Eugenie, the sisters continue to make appearances alongside other royal family members, such as at the annual Trooping the Colour, and Royal Ascot. 

While Eugenie married Jack Brooksbank last year, and continues to promote causes close to her heart, her sister Beatrice is dating Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, with rumours of their engagement yet to be officially confirmed.
