The Royal Family is grappling with significant health issues this year, prompting calls for Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie to take on more responsibilities. 

King Charles and the Princess of Wales are both undergoing treatment for cancer, while Princess Anne recently spent five nights in hospital after sustaining minor head injuries and a concussion during a horse-riding incident in Windsor.

Despite the reduced number of working royals due to these health challenges, the monarch has not officially enlisted his nieces as working members of the Firm. 

A branding expert, Desislava Dobreva, noted that the York siblings have been strategically placed to support key royal initiatives without overshadowing senior royals. "Beatrice and Eugenie's support for key royal initiatives, such as Prince William's charity events, helps align them with the broader goals of the Royal Family," Dobreva told GB News.

Currently, Princess Beatrice works as the vice president of tech company Afiniti, and Princess Eugenie is an art director at Hauser & Wirth. Despite their non-working royal status, their involvement in royal engagements has been seen as crucial during this challenging period for the Royal Family.
