Princess Beatrice is said to have ‘lost all hope’ of becoming a working Royal thanks to the deepening scandal engulfing the House of York.
Friends of Beatrice, the eldest daughter of the beleaguered Prince Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, say she would have been keen to help ease the burden on King Charles and Prince William by carrying out more Royal engagements.
The King is said to have been impressed by her elegance and enthusiasm during recent joint appearances and is keenly aware of the need to boost the number of working Royals as he continues to be treated for an undisclosed form of cancer and the Princess of Wales recovers from her own battle with the disease.
