Princess Beatrice is reportedly finding herself in a delicate position as tensions continue within the royal family. The daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson has maintained close ties with different members of the family, including Prince William and Prince Harry. Her connections to both brothers have drawn attention as their relationship remains strained.
Beatrice has also remained close to her sister, Princess Eugenie, who has previously shared a strong bond with Harry and Meghan Markle. The sisters have continued to appear at family occasions despite the wider tensions surrounding the royals.
Princess Beatrice reportedly treads carefully over support for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
Princess Beatrice and Prince William have appeared together at several family occasions over the years. In June 2026, Beatrice and Eugenie attended the wedding of their cousin Peter Phillips, where William warmly greeted Beatrice with a kiss on the cheek.
The appearance came amid continued attention on the York sisters’ relationships with different members of the royal family. The family members include Harry and Meghan. Beatrice is reportedly trying to avoid becoming caught between Prince William and the Sussexes. According to the National Examiner, a source claimed that she is “having to walk a very fine line” because of the controversies surrounding her parents.
The source also claimed that Beatrice would not want to create further tension by openly supporting Harry and Meghan. Further added, “The last thing [Beatrice] needs is to get in more hot water by coming out swinging for the Sussexes when everyone knows how touchy William is about the situation.”
The insider also claimed that William is paying close attention to where family members stand, saying, “He’s watching very closely to see who is with him and who is against him.” The source further claimed that Beatrice has so far managed to retain her position within the royal family. But described her standing with William as “hanging by a very thin thread.”
Neither Beatrice nor William has confirmed that she was asked to choose sides. The claims come from an unnamed source.
