King Charles advises Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie to consider future after royal disappointment

King Charles has recommended giving Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie the opportunity to showcase their abilities by giving them a series of engagements suggested by a royal historian.

Amid the current shortage of working royals, there is speculation that Prince Andrew’s daughters, Beatrice, 35, and Eugenie, 34, could potentially fill some of the gaps in the royal diary, despite not being working members of the royal family.

Both King Charles, 75, and Princess Kate, 42, are currently battling cancer, due to which their public engagements have been reduced.

Marlene Koenig, a royal historian, provided GB News with exclusive details on how Beatrice and Eugenie may be integrated into the firm.

She said: “I wrote an article shortly after the Queen’s death saying maybe it’s time for Beatrice and Eugenie.

“And my thought was, Beatrice and Eugenie already have offices covered by sovereign grant.

“My thought was, [King Charles] Beatrice and Eugenie can just be assigned a small number of tasks because they can’t do the king’s work and they can’t do Catherine’s work, but there are still bread and butter tasks that need to be done.

“There have been no announcements about dividing the late Queen’s patronage. Of course, some go automatically to Charles. But there are a lot of patronages he can’t.”

Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie have a number of personal patronages, however, they do not perform duties on behalf of the monarchy.

“But my point is that at the moment, Princess Beatrice and Eugenie both work and have jobs. They are private and they do not receive any funding.”

Koenig explained that King Charles will not have to worry about providing housing for two more working royals, as the York sisters already have homes.

It comes as 10 patron sisters have been locked out of the royal family’s website, as a royal historian has confirmed.

Due to their non-working member status within the royal family, Beatrice, 35, and Eugenie, 34, are not listed under “Royal Family Members” on the website.
