Overview
- British press reports say Beatrice and Eugenie will not attend Royal Ascot from June 16–20 and will be excluded from the traditional carriage procession.
- The move is described as part of an indefinite effort to keep the sisters out of high-profile appearances, with reports that senior royals have advised others to avoid being photographed with them for the rest of the year.
- There are no formal allegations against the princesses, but their names appear in declassified Epstein-related documents, and renewed scrutiny has intensified since Prince Andrew’s 11-hour detention in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
- The UK Charity Commission confirms it is assessing information related to Eugenie’s organization, The Anti‑Slavery Collective, with no public indications of wrongdoing.
- Separate reports say Prince Harry has offered his Montecito home as a possible refuge for his cousins if they need it.
