British Royal Family Weighs Beatrice and Eugenie’s Role Amid Andrew Fallout
Buckingham Palace has kept the sisters’ princess titles, while prosecutors advise Thames Valley Police and questions grow over their place in royal life.
Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie were absent from the traditional Easter gathering at Windsor this weekend as the Royal Family navigates ongoing fallout surrounding their father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
King Charles III stripped Mountbatten-Windsor of his royal titles in October following revelations about his ties to late billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who died in prison in 2019.
Biographer Andrew Lownie and expert Ed Owens argue the sisters are "deeply implicated" in an "elite network" introduced by Epstein, warning their "hybrid status" endangers the Windsor family.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams noted the family wants to avoid association with the sisters, as the "York brand has become toxic" amid growing public scrutiny.
While both women maintain professional careers, critics warn "there are scandals still in their cupboard" waiting to be exposed, leaving Beatrice and Eugenie's future role within the monarchy uncertain.
