Princess Beatrice and Kate Middleton's alleged rift has started to attract the attention of the public. Several publications released reports about the matter earlier this week.
Royal experts believe that the York Princess is "jealous" of the Duchess of Cambridge, according to the Daily Express. She has had a "disdain" toward the future Queen Consort for various reasons.
The reports have not presented a clear basis as to why a rift exists between the two royals. But, sources, reportedly, argue that this has stemmed from the alleged tension between Prince Charles and Prince Andrew.
The Prince of Wales' plan to slim down the royal line of succession appears to have impacted the "wage gap" between him and his siblings. Insiders alleged that this sparked strains among the royals and rubbed the Queen's second son up the "wrong way."
As a result, the York Princesses, particularly the eldest, is now "at odds" with her uncle and cousins. Many have since speculated that Princess Beatrice is "very jealous" of Kate Middleton.
Cheat Sheet previously released a report about the alleged rift between Prince Charles and Prince Andrew. Several royal experts claimed there is an apparent "jealousy" between the royal siblings since they were kids.
As noted, the Prince of Wales envies the "attention" Queen Elizabeth gives to the Duke of York. Similarly, the Queen's second son is, reportedly, jealous of his brother and nephews due to their positions in the line of the royal succession.
Over the years, the allegations remain apparent, with royal experts attesting to the assertions. Katie Nicholl even once claimed that Princess Beatrice's father was "upset" when Kate Middleton's father-in-law. This came after Prince Charles allegedly "decreed" that the York household "not be present" during the British Monarch's Diamond Jubilee celebration.
A separate report from the Daily Express, also, discussed Princess Beatrice's relationship to her Wales cousins. Experts stated that they all once shared close and tight ties, especially during their younger years.
Journalist Catherine Ostler explained that the tensions between the York Princesses and the Wales Princes actually began after Princess Diana's unfortunate death in 1997. She said that the Princess of Wales was the link that connected the royal cousins back then.
But, as to how this relates to the eldest York Princess's alleged jealousy toward Kate Middleton, the exact reasons remain unclear. Moreover, other publications said that the two royals appear to share a good friendship, as seen in their public movements.
