Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie could soon face losing their princess titles due to their father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor‘s connection to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The sisters have both held their princess title since their births in 1988 and 1990, respectively, as they are male-line descendants of the monarch.
Due to the scandal, Andrew lost his princely title last year, with his reputation now in tatters. Beatrice and Eugenie’s mother, Sarah Ferguson, also lost her Duchess title last year due to her own connection to Epstein.

Beatrice, 37, and Eugenie, 35, have since been caught in the middle of the storm surrounding their parents and were plunged into further humiliation after it emerged that they had been taken to visit Epstein in the US when they were 19 and 20 years old.
At the time that Andrew and Sarah lost their titles, it was understood that Beatrice and Eugenie’s royal standing would remain unaffected.

Former Daily Express royal correspondent Richard Palmer told the Mirror: “In my view, in the future, they will end up losing their royal titles.
“I think we’re going to see a lot less of them. They obviously want to keep a low profile at the moment, and in future, I think they’ll just fade into the background.”
Mr Palmer said he believes they would be “better off” leaving their royal association behind.
