Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie lose security

Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are to have their 24-hour protection removed after a row over its cost. The daughters of the Prince of York and Sarah Ferguson are fifth and sixth in line to the throne and their round-the-clock security costs £500,000 a year.

According to UK newspaper Daily Mail, the protection will now only be given to them when they attend official events for the Royal Family.

Their father, Prince Andrew, is said to be angry at the withdrawal of their protection officers and claimed they should be given it because of their HRH status.
