In 2012, it was agreed that Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie—done with university and not working royals—would have to start paying rent to stay in their lavish royal apartments at St. James Palace. Prince Andrew stepped in, agreeing to pay £20,000 per year for his daughters (close to $28,000)…however, the actual market value of the four-bedroom apartment was estimated by London estate agents Savills at between £100,000 and £150,000 per year ($130,000 to $193,000), five to seven times the price. Nice discount, if you can get it! Here are 12 times the royal family broke their own protocol.
