Princess Beatrice and Eugenie have arrived at Peter Phillips' second wedding in the Cotswolds today, just days after it was revealed they have never paid a penny of rent despite performing no royal duties.The daughters of disgraced ex-duke, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, arrived with smiles at Peter Phillips wedding today despite an 'outrageous' National Audit Office report into their family finances.Princess Beatrice could be seen in the passenger seat of a Range Rover shortly after midday before heading in to the venue, as droves of guests descended on Gloucestershire's All Saints Church ahead of the arrival of Peter and Harriet Sterling. The 37-year-old was seen wearing an Alice band and a green and white dress printed dress wth leaves as she prepared to celebrate the King's nephew, 48, and his 45-year-old NHS Bride. She walked arm in arm with her husband her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi held an umbrella amid the downcast weather. Her sister Eugenie, who is due to give birth to her third child this summer, could be seen dressed in all navy with matching shoes and a hat, walked behind them with her husband James Brooksbank. Meanwhile, their other cousin, Prince Harry, is expected to be a no-show at the wedding of Princess Anne's son today, as he is said not to have spoken with his cousin ‘in years'.And while sources have said the Waleses' presence would have inevitably played a part, his strained relationship with Peter largely stems from an incident almost two decades ago.The Duke of Sussex was said to be furious with Peter after his cousin's first wedding to Canadian Autumn Kelly, which he attended with his then girlfriend Chelsy Davey, as Peter struck a deal with Hello! magazine without telling the family.But the arrival of his cousins, the York sisters, has come amid another bombshell - this time in direct relation to their finances.Yesterday, the cosy deals from which both royals - working and not working - benefited regarding residences were laid bare by a National Audit Office report.It revealed the two princesses, who perform no royal duties, have been secretly subsidised for years, not only by their grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, but now by their uncle King Charles III.Sources said the arrangement for Beatrice and Eugenie was put in place during the late monarch's reign, who was very fond of her granddaughters, and the King had agreed to honour it.From 2008, both of the York sisters lived at St James's Palace until Eugenie moved to Ivy Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace in 2018.

No taxpayer money was involved.However, the homes are situated in occupied royal palaces, which are maintained by public funding via the Sovereign Grant, which was effectively reimbursed by the monarch on their behalf.And for a number of years, their adjusted rents – reduced because the Royal Household properties require tenants with security clearance – were based on out-of-date open market valuations, as were others.Some of the properties were dramatically under market value, with the report finding that not even a self-imposed 60 per cent rule was always followed.However, they were not the only royals to face scrutiny, with other revelations, such as their father being allowed to let three properties on his leased Windsor Estate to staff for a potential profit, being lambasted as 'outrageous'.Shamed Andrew may also be entitled to more than £300,000 in 'compensation' from the Crown Estate after he was booted out of the Royal Lodge after paying 'peppercorn' rent for over two decades before the end of his 75-year lease.The 66-year-old was kicked out of the Grade-II listed mansion by his monarch brother after being stripped of his Prince title over his friendship with paedophile financier, Jeffrey Epstein, which emerged. Andrew has denied any wrongdoing.But his daughters were not the only royals to benefit from subsidised rent, as Prince and Princess Michael of Kent have long enjoyed a sovereign-subsidised arrangement at a luxurious apartment in Kensington Palace.The NAO report, which was sparked amid revelations that Andrew was paying 'peppercorn rent' at the Royal Lodge, is factual but does not seek to examine value for money.However, a number of questions are likely to be raised over its contents by MPs in the next few months.Join the discussionShould Beatrice and Eugenie have roles in Prince William’s future slimmed-down monarchy?What's your view?
