King Charles has notably been giving his nieces Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie special roles despite being non-working royals.
The daughters of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson have made important appearances to support the monarch amid speculation that there is a promotion awaiting the York sisters.
As the royal family inches closer to the significant event on the royal calendar, Trooping the Colour, there is anticipation that Beatrice and Eugenie may be included in the special balcony photo-op, despite the disgrace of their father.
Although the King is fond of his nieces, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams dismissed the notion that the princesses would have their status in the royal family change so soon.
During the balcony appearance, senior working members observe a fly past and wave to the public following the events.
The expert explained to GB News that Beatrice and Eugenie at the balcony would raise questions about Andrew as “anything to do with him is still too toxic” for the royals. And, balcony appearances are an “iconic” symbol of prestige for the monarchy.
Andrew was stripped off of his royal titles and patronages after he was accused of being involved in illicit activities given his close friendship with convicted financier Jeffery Epstein.
He was also accused of sexual assault of minors in a major lawsuit – which eventually led to him being ousted from the royal fold in 2019. His reputation has been unsalvageable since.
“Unfortunately for Yorks, there is a problem, a huge problem, and it would send a message that would not be appropriate at the moment,” shared Fitzwilliams.
He pointed out that a high-profile appearance from Beatrice and Eugenie would just end up backfiring.
The update comes as royal sources revealed Buckingham Palace “appreciates” the two sisters for their contribution and loyalty.
Royal author Ingrid Seward also claimed that Prince William is likely to bring his cousins “into the fold” once he becomes King.
