Princess Beatrice took 10 holidays in just four months at the age of 19, with taxpayers reportedly footing a £250,000 security bill for trips across Europe, the Middle East and the Americas, according to resurfaced claims about the royal's gap year.
The issue sits within a much broader debate over the public cost of protecting so called minor royals. Beatrice, born in 1988, and her younger sister Princess Eugenie, born in 1990, received round the clock police protection from childhood.
