The Princess’ could end up losing their royal titles, it has been claimed. It comes as the Royal Family looks to slim down the number of working royals. Jeremy Vine this week suggested that Prince Charles, who is widely regarded as being the most keen to slim the family down, might consider axing Eugenie and Beatrice’s titles.

During his Channel 5 show, he warned that it could be “tricky” for Prince Andrew’s daughters to be ditched from the line-up.

He said: “We should point out Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice.

“Apparently their father, Andrew, asked for them to become princesses and HRH. So part of the unwinding here would be to call them in.

“You’d have to say, ‘We’re really sorry but that’s going’.

“That’s tricky but there’s a precedent.

“We mentioned Anne, and there’s not a soul in the world who doesn’t admire Anne; her daughter, Zara, and Zara’s husband, Mike Tindall, didn’t want their children to have titles.

“So there’s no real reason why Andrew’s children need to have them.”

If true, it could be another in a string of instances where Eugenie and Beatrice feel snubbed by the upper echelons of the Firm.

After Kate married Prince William in 2011, the princess’ were said to have been annoyed on discovering she was to fulfil solo royal engagements with the Queen.

Reporter Catherine Ostler explained in the Daily Mail that the two “blood princesses” were annoyed by Kate’s entry into the royal fold.

Writing in 2016, Ms Ostler said there was a “cold relationship” between the Duchess of Cambridge and the York sisters as the Queen appeared to push Kate into the spotlight more than them.

Ms Ostler wrote: “It particularly hurt when Kate did solo engagements with the Queen during the Diamond Jubilee.

“They felt snubbed.”

Many viewed the move as a key sign the Queen was delighted to have Kate as a senior member of the family.

The Duchess of Cambridge was also the only royal to have been invited, aside from Prince Philip.

Other reports have also revealed how the Queen made sure Kate was given lessons on how to act as a royal wife.

Speaking during the Amazon Prime documentary, ‘Kate Middleton: Working Class to Windsor’, royal reporter Ashley Pearson explained how the Duchess was instructed to adapt to royal life.

She said: “From the beginning, Kate Middleton had a great deal of support from the Royal Family, which was really instructed by the Queen.

“This was to make sure she knew as much as she could possibly know and what to do in every situation — bearing in mind, of course, that she didn’t grow up in this world.”

By contrast, Beatrice and Eugenie found themselves further removed from the Royal Family’s core as they grew older.

Ms Ostler said: “Their father sometimes takes up the cudgels on their behalf — for example, when they lost their paid-for royal protection officers.

“But while the Queen is too old to make a fuss or rock the boat, Charles remains determined to have a smaller task force, namely himself, his own offspring and their families.”
