Many royal fans noticed this shift before the latest developments. One wrote in 2024 that Beatrice and her sister Eugenie were both known professionally as Beatrice and Eugenie York. The comment added that although their backgrounds may have opened doors for them, they did not insist on royal styling in their workplaces.

Some commentators believe the sisters should face the same formal changes as their parents. Royal expert Chris Riches argued that the continued association between Beatrice and Eugenie and their parents carries a lingering stain due to Andrew and Sarah’s long running scandals. He warned that as public figures, the Princesses remain only a step away from renewed scrutiny tied to their parents’ past.

Titles Removed and a Forced Move Ahead

The latest round of consequences for Andrew was triggered by renewed allegations connected to his association with Jeffrey Epstein, allegations he has repeatedly denied. Alongside losing his titles, he and Sarah are to leave the Royal Lodge, with Andrew being moved into other private accommodation.
