King Charles is reportedly under intense strain at Windsor as Princess Anne pushes for a showdown over what she sees as Queen Camilla's 'cruel' orders freezing Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie out of royal life, according to palace insiders quoted this week. The row has sharpened after a series of quiet but pointed exclusions from events that once formed part of the York sisters' annual calendar.
The tension has been building for months. In March, reports claimed Princess Beatrice, 37, and Princess Eugenie, 36, had been barred from joining the wider Royal Family at Royal Ascot, despite the races traditionally welcoming extended relatives. Last weekend brought another absence. There was no official announcement, but the sisters were not seen at the Chelsea Flower Show, a fixture on the social calendar and an engagement they had regularly attended in previous years.
