Following Prince Andrew’s announcement that he will no longer use his royal titles or honors, questions quickly surfaced regarding the impact on his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.

The statement, released on Oct. 17, prompted widespread speculation about whether their royal status would be affected in light of renewed scrutiny surrounding Prince Andrew’s association with Jeffrey Epstein.

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie Remain Unaffected

According to reports, Princess Beatrice, 37, and Princess Eugenie, 35, will retain their titles and positions within the royal family. Their royal status remains unchanged, and they will continue to be styled as “Princess,” a title granted from birth as daughters of Prince Andrew and granddaughters of Queen Elizabeth II.

Though neither Beatrice nor Eugenie are full-time working royals, they attend major royal events and maintain their roles in the line of succession.

Their Place in the Line of Succession

Prince Andrew currently sits eighth in line to the British throne. Following him are his daughters and their children:

• Princess Beatrice is ninth in line, followed by her daughters Sienna Mapelli Mozzi and Athena Mapelli Mozzi.
• Princess Eugenie is twelfth in line, followed by her sons August Brooksbank and Ernest Brooksbank.

This confirms their continuing place in royal succession, unaffected by their father’s decision.
