Prince Andrew denies rift over daughters Eugenie and Beatrice
There is "no truth" in press claims of a split in the Royal Family over the future roles of Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice, the Duke of York has said.
Prince Andrew said in a statement he wished to stop "speculation and innuendo" relating to his daughters.
He said it was "complete fabrication" to suggest he wanted titles for any future husbands of the princesses.
He added that continued speculation over a split between himself and Prince Charles was "pointless".
"As a father, my wish for my daughters is for them to be modern, working, young women, who happen to be members of the Royal Family, and I am delighted to see them building their careers," the duke said.
"When they do support the Royal Family in its work this is very much appreciated by my family and, most importantly, by those organisations and to those for whom their participation makes such a difference to their lives."
While acknowledging there was "considerable interest" in the granddaughters of the Queen, Prince Andrew said he "cannot continue to stand by and have the media speculate on their futures based on my purported interventions, which are completely made up".
