Royal Family News: Prince Charles Doesn’t Want Prince Andrew’s Daughters Involved In Monarchy

British royal family news reveals that Prince Charles reportedly wants to trim back the monarchy when he becomes king. How so? His alleged plan includes taking roles away from his disgraced brother’s daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.

What are the facts behind this conjecture? MailPlus’ Palace Confidential host Jo Elvin talked to royal watcher Richard Kay about the situation.

Royal Family News – Will Charles Slim Down the Monarchy?

According to Kay there has been a, “sudden influx in PR the princesses seem to be getting.” His statement seems to indicate that the PR is meant to increase their public profile in a positive manner. If so, the spin could be about distancing themselves from their father’s spectacular fall from grace.

In February Andrew paid off a sexual abuse accuser who brought charges against him in a NYC courtroom. He denied any involvement yet paid a reported $10 million dollar out of court settlement. Since then his stock has dipped precipitously, although he had been in the doghouse for years.

Royal Family News – Andrew Is A Disgrace

Andrew caught flak for his friendship with convicted and dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Virginia Giuffre claimed she was a sex trafficking victim of Epstein and that Prince Andrew had sex with her three times when she was a minor. He denied the charges against him but chose to pay her off rather than face a court trial. Even before this he had been stripped of his royal role, titles and patronages. And last week he incurred yet another humiliation when the city of York demanded that he relinquish his title, Duke of York. The city wants nothing to do with him, and sees his name association as a taint on the town.

Royal Family News – Eugenie Is House Hunting?

It is against this sordid backdrop that the York sisters exist. It doesn’t help that Eugenie is bunking down in a borrowed royal house with her family, with Andrew reportedly wanting to give her yet another residence near Windsor Castle.

According to Kay, “I don’t think they will have a formal royal role at all,” he says of the York sisters.

“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.”

“They will feature from time to time. It does seem they want to have a royal role, but they do have full-time lives out of royal duty.”

    He may want to pair down the monarch and I agree that Andrew is a disgrace, but, Charles Is not much better after what he did to Diana. The two daughters should not feel the sins of their father Andrew.

    No reason they should be hurt even though they don't need to be full time royals.

    Its always been the extended family thats the real danger for any monarchy. Its only natural children would resent only one sibling getting almost everything. To ordinary people like us we probably think for goodness sake they should be happy they have, the wealth and connections but I guess thats not enough for some, and they feel they should get their share or a bigger share of the royal pie. As they fall lower in the ranks years ago they could at least once content themselves with marrying back with a cousin and therefore regaining status but of course now with it being more likely the future kings and queens will marry commoners the family are even more dissatisfied with their situation. Andrews girls don't just have to now contend with lower rank but daddy's friendships with pedophiles. Thats not a connection the monarchy will want to keep rearing its head and sadly when the public sees the girls they are reminded of daddy and if even not guilty of the crime, he is definitely guilty of association and friendships with such people. Charles is ok with excluding his siblings children but it won't be as easy when it comes to his own grandchildren. Perhaps the crown and parliament should rule immediate family only King, future king or queen, keeping it to say 4 in total with the monarch and the training monarch and their husband's or wives. Is it fair on the children to trail them out like royal puppies only to then tell them that they are to be unusable spare parts.
