Prince William 'has made it clear where he stands' with Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice

Fitzwilliams told GB News that the Royal Family is looking closely at the current patronages held by the working members of the Royal Family.

But Prince William told the media in Singapore that he wants to delve “deeper” into particular issues, as opposed to all members of the Royal Family getting involved with every good deed.

When asked if Beatrice and Eugenie would like to become working royals, Fitzwilliams told GB News: "The palace is looking at the patronages.

"But I think William has made clear where he stands."

The royal commentator added: "There's no doubt that because there are few working royals there will be fewer patronages.

"But I think because of that, Beatrice and Eugenie might very well have done more in different circumstances.

"But it's always very important to note public attitudes to this.

"Inevitably they would receive a certain amount from the sovereign grant as working royals.

"And I don't think that that would be something most people would think was acceptable at the moment."

Prince William appeared to take a veiled dig at the wider Royal Family during the Earthshot Prize Awards in Singapore.

He said: “I care about so many things and previously the family have been very much spotlighting brilliantly and going round and highlighting lots – I want to go a step further.

“I want to actually bring change and I want to bring people to the table who can do the change if I can’t do it.”

He added: “I think the thing that ties it all together for me is about social leadership. That’s what I’m trying to find my way in.

“I’ve been in the homelessness sector for a long time now, and so rather than just being patron, I want to do more.

“I want to actually build the homes, I want to provide them with the mental support, all the employment and the education they might need.

“So it’s all these wraparound services, it’s kind of going deeper and longer than it is the case of just having loads of causes that you sort of turn up and keep an eye on.”

The prince continued: "But you have to remain focused, if you spread yourself too thin you just can’t manage it and you won’t deliver the impact or the change that you really want to happen.”
