“William is fuming. He thinks Charles has made him look terrible by changing his mind on this. In his view, it’s crucial to the future of the monarchy that they are seen to be taking a very hard stance on the Yorks, and letting Beatrice and Eugenie continue to be associated with them publicly sends the wrong message,” the insider said.
“Kate is backing William,” they added. “She absolutely agrees that a clear line needs to be drawn, and that continuing to have Beatrice and Eugenie show up at key royal events muddies that message. As far as she’s concerned, it’s not about being unkind – it’s about protecting the institution and making sure the public sees consistency in how things are handled.”
