Princess Beatrice and Eugenie are facing questions after having never personally paid any rent despite living in exclusive palace properties for nearly two decades.Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's two daughters perform no royal duties, but have been secretly subsidised for years by Queen Elizabeth II and now King Charles III.The sisters lived at St James's Palace from 2008, then Eugenie moved to Kensington Palace in 2018. She now splits her time between London and a Portuguese home.Beatrice, 37, stayed on at the apartment, which she shares with her husband Edo Mapelli Mozzi, and their family, while also owning a home in the Cotswolds.Both rents are paid to the Royal Household entirely by Charles out of the Privy Purse, which is made up of his Duchy of Lancaster income and other private funds. The York sisters have their own careers, high-flying husbands and multi-million-pound homes elsewhere. So do you think they should be evicted from their palace homes if they do not start paying rent?
