Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie Are “Heartbroken” But Have a Clear Focus After Ex-Prince Andrew’s Arrest

King Charles is excluding Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie from upcoming royal events to avoid public association with the Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor scandal, experts say.

  • Over the coming weeks, King Charles III will limit public roles for Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, as royal advisers expect them to avoid public gatherings to protect the monarchy.
  • Evidence tying the princesses to Epstein-related emails prompted their potential withdrawal from public duties, following Prince Andrew's arrest in a Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
  • With Commonwealth Day on 9 March, decisions on guest lists for Westminster Abbey and the Easter Sunday service at St George's Chapel in Windsor will be crucial, amid the US spring visit doubts.
  • The situation risks deepening the international element, with some Commonwealth nations reconsidering ties, as the Government is understood to be considering removing Mountbatten-Windsor from succession after the police inquiry, echoing Barbados's 2021 move.
  • Long-Term institutional reform is being urged by experts, with Ian Lloyd warning of gradual erosion of respect and scholars emphasizing the need for transparency and accountability.
