Ex-Prince <\/strong>Andrew\u2019<\/strong>s<\/span> daughters are again under pressure after a royal expert said Princess Beatrice<\/strong> and Princess Eugenie<\/strong> may want to step back from their titles. The York sisters<\/a> still hold the titles of Princess and HRH (His\/Her Royal Highness), even as scrutiny of the family has intensified in recent weeks.<\/p>\n That fresh warning centers on optics, access, and the gap between status and duty. According to a new report, the sisters are non-working royals but still retain palace perks, London homes, and valuable connections tied to their royal titles.<\/p>\n According to the Mirror report<\/a>, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond says, \u201cA title like that opens doors and sets up connections,\u201d which the royal sisters already use to their advantage. Bond stresses, \u201cThere\u2019s nothing wrong in that,\u201d but adds that now might be the moment to \u201cquietly drop the use of theirs.\u201d In her view, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie do not need a public renunciation. Instead, she suggested they \u201cuse their married names\u201d and distance themselves from the York brand for now.<\/p>\n Although the issue is not just symbolic, the outlet reports that the sisters still have access to homes within royal palaces through a long-standing private rental arrangement. Princess Beatrice has an apartment in St James\u2019s Palace, while Princess Eugenie has Ivy Cottage at Kensington Palace as a London base. <\/p>\n The outlet also cites a source telling The Times<\/a>, \u201cThe [rental] deal was made with their father as he wanted them to have a foothold in the royal palaces.\u201d That detail adds to the debate over royal titles and whether palace-linked privileges still look appropriate.<\/p>\nExpert urges Ex-Prince Andrew\u2019s daughters to quietly drop royal titles amid scrutiny<\/h2>\n
