Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie have pressed on with their public engagements this week, despite the ongoing scandal surrounding their parents, Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew, linked to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The King's nieces, who hold HRH titles but are not working royals, have been seen at charitable events, demonstrating their commitment to royal duties.
On Tuesday, Princess Eugenie, 35, joined Princess Rajwa Al Hussein of Jordan at Springfield University Hospital in London to view artworks created for mental health care environments. She shared the visit on Instagram, appearing unfazed by the controversy surrounding her family.
Her sister, Princess Beatrice, 37, attended the Art Of Wishes Gala 2025 at The Chancery Rosewood Hotel in London with her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. The event raised funds for Make-A-Wish UK, a charity that grants wishes for children with critical illnesses.
Royal author Katie Nicholl told the Daily Mail that the princesses are 'not going to let their parents' scandals overshadow the good work that they do'. She noted that they have maintained a dignified silence throughout the turmoil and continue to focus on their philanthropic engagements.
Nicholl added that King Charles holds his nieces in high regard and recognises their dedication to the Crown. 'If they were ever required to step up in any capacity, they would,' she said, praising their resilience.
