British Royal Family Removes Princess Beatrice and Eugenie from Official Events

Buckingham Palace has suspended Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie from a number of high‑profile royal engagements after the arrest of their father, Prince Andrew, and the release of new documents linking the sisters to the Jeffrey Epstein case. The move follows a YouGov poll that showed public favourability for the two princesses slipping to around 30% each, with roughly one‑third of respondents expressing a negative view.

Both women retain their titles and remain ninth and tenth in the line of succession. Princess Beatrice, who works as a vice‑president at Afiniti, celebrated her 38th birthday while keeping a low public profile, and continues charitable work on dyslexia and health issues. The royal family, including King Charles III and the Prince of Wales, has publicly affirmed respect for the sisters despite the ongoing controversy surrounding their father.

The decision underscores the monarchy’s effort to protect its image amid continuing scrutiny of the Andrew scandal and its impact on the younger generation of royals.
