Prince Eugenie and her sister Princess Beatrice are the daughters of Prince Andrew and Kate Middleton, the Duchess of York. The pair were given the title Princess at birth in keeping with the 1917 Letters Patent issued by Queen Elizabeth’s grandfather, King George V.

It is unlikely that Beatrice, 33, and Princess Eugenie, 32 will lose their princess designations as Prince Charles reportedly has no plans for it, even after ascending the throne.

“The Prince of Wales has made his plans for the future very clear, which is a slimmed-down royal family. Expanding it to include the York daughters to help the royal cause is unlikely to happen.” Kay added that, though the princesses would “feature from time to time” and that it seemed they wanted to, they had full-time lives beyond royal duties.

Daily Mail editor Richard Eden had this to say: “It seems coordinated because they both happened in the same week. Behind it seems to be a drive towards a public role, which their parents have always wanted.”
