Overview
- Senior royals are reported to be keeping Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie at arm’s length, with guidance that they will not join the Royal Ascot carriage procession and little expectation of a role at Trooping the Colour.
- The Daily Telegraph’s Camilla Tominey relayed a message from a royal insider that “the York sisters’ stuff is going to get a lot worse,” while colleagues note a cooler mood from the palace toward the pair.
- Newly released Epstein‑related documents frequently reference the sisters, with reports saying Princess Eugenie’s name appears more than 300 times, though no evidence of wrongdoing by either has been presented.
- Princess Eugenie has stepped down from her role with Anti‑Slavery International, and both sisters are keeping a low profile as commentators speculate they could eventually lose or voluntarily give up their titles.
- Reports claim their grace‑and‑favour homes at St James’s Palace and Kensington Palace are under review, while a National Audit Office summary confirms the 2003 Royal Lodge lease could only pass to Andrew’s widow or daughters before he vacated the property.
