Princess Beatrice and Eugenie jeopardize their relationship with Prince Harry

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are said to have made significant sacrifices to prevent further discord within the royal family. 

The daughters of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson seemingly aimed to appease King Charles and Prince William, have inadvertently strained their relationship with their cousin and friend, Prince Harry.

The royal sisters opted out of attending Harry's Invictus event in London last week, fearing it could exacerbate existing tensions within the family. 

According to royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams, Beatrice and Eugenie's absence from the event, which they likely would not have attended without King Charles's approval, was a strategic move to avoid signaling any internal divisions within the royal ranks.

"They [Beatrice and Eugenie] would not have been expected to be there because that would have been a sign of a split in the Royal Family,” the expert told GB News.

Fitzwilliams said, "you would have had royals there, some there and not others, that would have been seized on."

"If you had any members of the Royal Family going it would have been perceived as a split,” the expert continued. “There would have been no way Beatrice and Eugenie would have attended an event like that without the King's consent."

Despite their close bond with Harry, Beatrice and Eugenie took a considerable risk by aligning with the royal family's stance, potentially jeopardizing their relationship with him. 

This decision was particularly significant as no member of the royal family attended Harry's event, highlighting the ongoing rift between the Sussexes and senior royals.
