As per the Daily Mail, King Charles and Prince William are reportedly considering Princess Beatrice to step in for Kate as she undergoes cancer treatment, viewing her as an increasingly vital support within the royal family, as described by royal commentator Kate Mansey.
Furthermore, there are purported plans for Princess Beatrice to join King Charles and Queen Camilla during an upcoming state visit by the Japanese emperor next month.
However, it seems Princess Kate is apprehensive about this development, expressing concerns about Beatrice and her sister Princess Eugenie potentially encroaching on the inner circle of the royal family.
Royal author Tom Quinn has previously discussed the anxiety felt by William and Kate regarding a possible alliance between Harry, Meghan, Beatrice, and Eugenie, suggesting that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge perceive the York sisters as aligning more closely with the Sussexes due to their shared status as "outcasts" within the royal family.
Despite their royal exit, the York sisters have maintained a close relationship with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, adding another layer of complexity to the situation.
As these rumors swirl, it remains to be seen how Kate Middleton will navigate these potential changes within the royal family's dynamics.
