Experts say the presence of Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice at the royal family’s Christmas lunch suggests the king is “shielding” them from their estranged father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
Eugenie and Beatrice found themselves at the center of a scandal this fall involving their father, Andrew. The king’s brother and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson were stripped of their royal titles due to Andrew’s connection with Jeffrey Epstein.
However, their daughters are clearly under the protection of Charles III, since, despite rumors about the deprivation of their privileges, they are part of the royal house.
For several years now, Beatrice and Eugenie have been in limbo: they are not working members of the royal family, but they are not ordinary citizens either. They are loyal daughters, but they are also the children of a man whose name has become synonymous with damaging the reputation of the family, said Charlie Proctor, editor of the Royal Central website. — The King’s Christmas dinner is not just a family dinner, but a carefully compiled guest list that shows who remains an important person for the royal family, — the expert concluded.
