Princess Kate’s Peace Offering Poses Royal 'Dilemma' For Beatrice and Eugenie

The Princess of Wales visits The Royal Marsden Hospital.

The Prince and Princess of Wales are working hard to ensure that their royal duties aren't overshadowed by the recent removal of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's titles. Last month, King Charles withdrew his younger brother's Prince, Earl of Inverness, Baron Killyleagh and His Royal Highness titles, and Sarah Ferguson also lost her duchess title. The historic move came as a result of Andrew's ties to convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.

During a recent interview, Prince William expertly avoided discussing the matter and pivoted a probing question back towards his work for the Earthshot prize. Additionally, royal experts have claimed that Princess Kate is hoping to avoid personal distractions when she hosts her annual carol concert next month. Every year, Kate leads the Together at Christmas service at Westminster Abbey, and she is often joined by royals and celebrities to mark the festive season. This year, the Princess of Wales has reportedly offered 'personal invitations' to Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie as an olive branch. While the sisters will retain their titles amid the scandals surrounding their father, the offer to join the royal family at the highly publicised event poses a 'difficult dilemma' for Beatrice and Eugenie, according to one royal expert.
