Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have been keeping “a low profile” after their father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, was arrested on February 19. The pair have reportedly been asked not to attend Royal Ascot this June, and Eugenie recently stepped down from her role at the charity she co-founded, The Anti-Slavery Collective. Amid the continued fallout from the York family’s association with Jeffrey Epstein, one royal expert has predicted that the sisters will either lose their princess titles or give them up voluntarily.
“In my view, in the future, they will end up losing their royal titles,” royal correspondent Richard Palmer told the Mirror. “It might be cleaner for all involved,” he added. “Being princesses who are non-working royals is confusing for people already because they have titles but they don’t do anything for the monarchy, they don’t do anything for the nation.”
