Not Everyone Wants Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice to Be Working Royals because…
An expert said that their involvement could “fuel comparisons and competition within the royal family.”
Amid King Charles and Kate Middleton’s respective cancer battles, rumors began swirling that Princes William and Harry’s cousins, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, could potentially become working royals in some capacity, even if just temporarily. As the daughters of disgraced royal Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, the two have never been senior royals, and public relations expert Grayce McCormick doesn’t think it would be a good idea for them to start now. In fact, the founder of Lightfinder Public Relations thinks that if the sisters took on these new roles (were they to be offered to them), it could cause tension in the family.
“The emergence of new working royals may fuel comparisons and competition within the royal family,” McCormick told The Mirror. “It could potentially lead to internal tensions or conflicts that could damage the monarchy’s public image.”
Another PR pro shared a similar sentiment, noting that their ties to Prince Andrew could also stir up some controversy.
