A recent poll conducted by Palace Confidential has revealed that the British public remains divided over whether Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice should take on more royal duties. The survey highlights a lack of widespread support for the York sisters stepping into prominent roles within the monarchy.
Public Opinion Divided
According to the findings, only a minority of respondents believe the princesses should be given additional responsibilities. Many argue that as non-working royals, their roles should remain limited, particularly as the monarchy seeks to streamline its public-facing duties.
Contrast with Working Royals
The poll underscores a clear distinction between the public’s perception of working royals, such as the Prince and Princess of Wales, and those like Eugenie and Beatrice, who pursue private careers. While the sisters occasionally attend royal events, their involvement is seen as supplementary rather than essential.
Palace’s Stance
Buckingham Palace has yet to comment on the survey, but insiders suggest that no immediate changes to the princesses’ roles are expected. The royal family continues to focus on a smaller, more efficient group of working members.
What’s Next for the York Sisters?
Despite the lukewarm public response, Eugenie and Beatrice remain beloved figures within royal circles. Whether they will take on a more formal role in the future remains uncertain, but for now, their positions appear unchanged.
