Princesses Keep Titles Amid Parental Scandal Fallout

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have maintained their royal titles and styling of Her Royal Highness, despite the significant scandals involving their parents, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson. Their royal status remains entirely unaffected by Prince Andrew's ties to Jeffrey Epstein and the subsequent removal of his titles and eviction from Royal Lodge in October 2025.

The princesses were notably present at the June 6, 2026, wedding of their cousin Peter Phillips. Prince William was photographed greeting Beatrice warmly, while her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, shared a greeting with Zara Tindall. This outing marked a prominent family event for Beatrice and her sister, Eugenie, amidst heightened public interest in their parents' affairs.

King George V's Letters Patent of 1917 dictates that as daughters of a son of the late Queen Elizabeth, Beatrice and Eugenie retain their royal standing. This has allowed them to continue participating in royal family gatherings, including spending Christmas with King Charles. Buckingham Palace also announced Eugenie's pregnancy, signaling continued integration within the royal fold.
