Princesses beatrice and Eugenie to Retain Titles as Prince Andrew Faces stripping of Honors
Despite ongoing scrutiny surrounding their father, Prince Andrew, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie will retain their royal titles. The move comes as King Charles III initiates the formal process of removing Prince Andrew’s titles and honors following years of controversy and his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Both princesses have largely refrained from public comment regarding the allegations against their father,continuing with their individual lives and charitable work. Prince Andrew, who has lost his princely title, will also be required to vacate the Royal Lodge on the Windsor estate.
Beatrice, ninth in line to the throne, currently serves as an advisor to the artificial intelligence software company Afiniti and is a co-founder of The Big Change Charitable Trust. She holds patronage roles with organizations including the Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice,the Teenage Cancer Trust,and the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity.
Eugenie, twelfth in line to the throne, is a patron of several charities, including the Elephant Family, the Teenage cancer Trust, and the European School of Osteopathy, and co-founded the Anti-Slavery Collective. This year, she became a mentor for The King’s Foundation’s 35 under 35 network and is currently a director at the Hauser & Wirth contemporary art gallery in London.
Both princesses are married with children. Beatrice wed real estate tycoon Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in 2020, while Eugenie married wine merchant Jack Brooksbank in October 2018. Notably, neither of their husbands received a peerage upon marriage.
