Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie should not lose their Royal Family titles, PR expert Lynn Carratt has told GB News.<\/p>\n

Questions have been raised over the sisters\u2019 future public place within the Royal Family.<\/p>\n

The royal website lists Beatrice and Eugenie in the line of succession at ninth and 12th, respectively.<\/p>\n

The debate over the York sisters has intensified since Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor\u2019s arrest last month on suspicion of misconduct in public office and the subsequent pressure on ministers to consider legislation over his position in the succession.<\/p>\n

Beatrice and Eugenie’s father, Mr Mountbatten-Windsor, has consistently denied any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

The Government is not ruling out taking action on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s place in the line of succession, but there has been no official move against his daughters\u2019 status.<\/p>\n

In October 2025, Buckingham Palace confirmed that Mr Mountbatten-Windsor\u2019s daughters would be unaffected after he gave up use of the Duke of York title.<\/p>\n

Ms Carratt, a PR expert from E20 Communications<\/a>, said the princesses should not be drawn into the controversy surrounding their father.<\/p>\n

She told the People’s Channel: \u201cStripping them (Beatrice and Eugenie) of titles would risk creating public backlash.\u201d<\/p>\n

The commentator added that their own identities and work should be viewed separately.<\/p>\n

Ms Carratt said: \u201cTheir roles as royal princesses and as private individuals carving out their own careers and identities remain separate from Andrew\u2019s controversies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Neither Beatrice nor Eugenie are full-time working royals on behalf of the King. Despite this, they remain valued members of the Royal Family and are often present at wider public events, like Christmas and Easter.<\/p>\n

Recent developments have kept them in the headlines. Princess Eugenie stepped down as patron of Anti-Slavery International on March 8<\/a>, although the charity did not publicly attribute the change to the Mr Mountbatten-Windsor controversy.<\/p>\n

Ms Carratt said removing the sisters\u2019 titles could create a new controversy rather than resolving the current one: \u201cRetaining their titles maintains fairness, respects their personal achievements, and avoids unnecessary complications for the Royal Family.<\/p>\n

\u201cRemoving them could create more headlines for all the wrong reasons and inadvertently draw attention to the very issue they have no part in.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sisters remain behind Mr Mountbatten-Windsor in the order of succession, with Beatrice followed by her daughters Sienna and Athena, and Eugenie followed by her sons August and Ernest.<\/p>\n

That means any debate over Mr Mountbatten-Windsor\u2019s place in the line naturally also draws in discussion of the wider York branch of the family.<\/p>\n

But at present, the official changes under consideration are centred on Mr Mountbatten-Windsor himself rather than Beatrice or Eugenie.<\/p>\n
