The palace has officially revoked the titles and styles of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, removing their formal princess status and “His/Her Royal Highness” designations.
Under the updated arrangement, both women retain their Duchess and Earl of Wessex titles by courtesy through marriage, but will no longer use their princess titles in any official capacity. The move means they will not hold active roles in royal duties or public engagements as senior members of the royal family.
The change aligns with a broader restructuring of the royal household, signalling a final demotion of their father, Prince Andrew, from the monarchy’s structure. Observers say the decision formalizes a shift toward a slimmed-down monarchy and reflects a firm line drawn following recent controversies. Endeavours involving the sisters’ patronages are now expected to be evaluated under private rather than public royal sponsorship.
