The future royal roles of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie have been clarified by King Charles, despite his fondness for his nieces.
Amid ongoing scrutiny of their father Prince Andrew's association with Jeffrey Epstein, the sisters have maintained a low profile. Speculation about an expanded role for Beatrice and Eugenie during King Charles and Kate Middleton's recent health issues has been addressed by royal correspondent Cameron Walker.
Walker reported on GB News that there will be no change in the sisters' status within the Royal Family. "There has been much speculation about the possibility of the York sisters becoming working royals, but it is understood Beatrice and Eugenie will be limited to informal roles," he wrote.
Regarding Prince Andrew, Walker noted that he remains largely absent from public life and faces significant public disapproval due to his past associations. Despite this, Beatrice and Eugenie have chosen to focus on their private lives and occasional public duties, maintaining dignity amidst media attention.
Walker also mentioned the sisters' recent appearance at the Royal Ascot alongside their mother, Sarah, Duchess of York, who has seen a return to royal favor. However, their attendance should not be interpreted as a sign of an impending increase in their royal responsibilities.
In summary, while Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie continue to participate in royal events, their roles are expected to remain primarily informal, with no plans for them to become full-time working members of the Royal Family.
