ROYAL BLOOD FEUD

Fergie’s daughters at war with Kate & Meghan as Camilla stirs pot!

-

AVICIOUS royal feud pitting Kate and Meghan — the wives of Princes William and Harry — against Prince Andrew’s daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie, is threatenin­g to rip Queen Elizabeth’s family to bloody bits.

Royal insiders say the women “absolutely hate each other” — and Prince Charles’ scheming wife, Camilla, is secretly stirring the pot behind the scenes.

The bad blood splashed over at 28-year-old Princess Eugenie’s lavish Oct. 12 wedding to playboy socialite Jack Brooksbank, 32. The daughter of the Duchess of York, Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson, was determined to make her bash more spectacula­r than American-born Meghan Markle’s May nuptials with Harry and upstage Kate’s 2011 wedding to William, who is destined to be king.

Eugenie invited 850 guests, compared to Meghan’s 600 — and as an extra slap in the face, she named Harry’s former lover Cressida Bonas as a bridesmaid!

At the root of the bitterness is the way the royal family treated Eugenie and Beatrice’s wild mom, Fergie, who was caught having her toes sucked by a lover while still married to Charles’ younger brother.

“Sarah was branded as classless and slutty by members of the royal family, including the queen’s husband, Philip,” says the source. The red-haired beauty was also blasted as

a “money-grubber” who tried to cash in on her royal connection­s after divorcing Andy in 1996 — including taking a gig pitching Weight Watchers, the insider says.

“But Meghan and Kate’s kin have been doing the same thing and getting less heat for it,” says the source.

“That just fuels the bad blood between Beatrice and Eugenie and William and Harry’s wives. The princesses see Meghan and Kate and their commoner families as nothing but low-class opportunis­ts even though their own mom’s lineage is questionab­le.”

Predictabl­y, the catfightin­g is fertile ground for Camilla, who sees the young royals’ feud as a way to weaken Kate and Meghan, who she views as rivals for the public’s affection and influence in royal circles.

She has been pitting both sides against each other.

“When Camilla gets together with Beatrice and Eugenie, she joins in the talk about how trashy and common Meghan and Kate’s families are and how they disgraced the monarchy by trying to cash in,” says a palace insider.

“She talks about how Kate’s sister, Pippa, and mom, Carole, have used the royal connection as social stepping stones and for business opportunit­ies. “And when she’s around Kate and Meghan, she talks about Andrew’s daughters being spoiled, frivolous spendthrif­ts. She says it’s shameful Andrew is still shacking up with Fergie and doesn’t have the decency to marry her again.

“Kate and Meghan and Andy’s girls are at each other’s throats, and Camilla is stoking the hate. The feud definitely threatens to tear the royal family to shreds as relatives begin taking sides.”
