Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice’s links to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry may create a conflict of interest for the Windsors.
“There is genuine anxiety at Kensington Palace that Prince Andrew’s daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie, are growing closer to Harry and Meghan. “Beatrice and Eugenie are moving to what one Kensington Palace official described as ‘the dark side,'” Tom Quinn told an outlet.
Quinn writes, “Beatrice and Eugenie, still furious over their disgraced father Prince Andrew’s lack of rehabilitation, feel like outcasts, their sense of abandonment made worse by King Charles’ refusal to allow them to be part of the inner group of working royals.”
Harry’s connection with King Charles and Prince William deteriorated when he came to the United States, although he still spent time with the York sisters.
“With the complete breakdown of relations with his father and brother, Harry feels that Beatrice and Eugenie are among the very few members of the family who are sympathetic to the position he finds himself in,” according to Quinn. He has always loved his cousins, but now they matter more to him.”
Despite the Duke of Sussex’s close relationship with Eugenie and Beatrice, the princesses did not attend the Invictus Games celebration in London.
According to GB News, their presence would have signaled a split within the royal family. “If some royals were present while others weren’t, it would have raised suspicions.”
“If you had any members of the royal family going, it would have been perceived as a split,” according to him. “There would have been no way Beatrice and Eugenie would have attended an event like that without The King’s consent.”
Following Charles and Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis, many royal watchers felt the Sussexes’ absence and wondered if Beatrice and Eugenie might step in. OK! A former royal butler believes the Yorks are unwilling to carry out royal obligations, as previously reported.
“Princess Eugenie is probably hesitant to take on royal duties because they take up her entire life,” Grant Harrold told a publication.
“I’ve seen the schedules, and you can’t switch it on and off,” the man said.
Eugenie currently works as an art director, while Beatrice is a technology strategist.
“Eugenie is very keen to have her own career, and that’s something she is very passionate about—so yes, she probably is reluctant to take on royal duties,” Harrold told CNN.
“As times become more desperate, we will likely see her move from that to become a working senior member of the family,” he said.
