Sisters in Strategy: Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie Plot Prince Andrew's 'Best Solution' After Christmas Snub

Princess Beatrice, 36, and Princess Eugenie, 34, are said to be trying to find the "best solution" with the senior royals on how best to work out future arrangements for their scandal-ridden father, Prince Andrew, 64.

Royal expert Jennie Bond explained, "The King is a kind soul and Andrew is his brother, he would have hated to be put in the position of having to un-invite him or ban him from what promises to be a big family get-together. It seems quite likely that Andrew sat down with Fergie, and possibly his daughters, to discuss the best solution."

The veteran reporter provided additional insight into how the Duke of York manages to always find good advice for his issues and said, "Thankfully, wise heads have prevailed and he obviously realized that his presence at Sandringham would be an embarrassing distraction on a day which — this year of all years — should be all about the King and Catherine."

The Duke of York has faced renewed scrutiny following allegations of his association with a Chinese businessman accused of espionage. In light of these challenges, Beatrice and Eugenie have been actively involved in discussions to determine the best course of action for their father.

Traditionally, the royal family gathers at Sandringham Estate for Christmas celebrations. However, this year, Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, have chosen to remain at their residence, the Royal Lodge, on the Windsor estate. This decision coincides with Beatrice and Eugenie's plans to spend the festive season with their respective in-laws, marking a departure from their usual family traditions.

The sisters' choice to spend Christmas elsewhere is seen by some royal commentators as a strategic move to alleviate the pressure on their father and the royal family during this period of heightened public scrutiny.

By not attending the Sandringham festivities, they may be aiming to reduce media attention on the family's internal dynamics and allow for a more private holiday experience.

The Duke's current situation has also sparked discussions about the future of the Royal Lodge. There is speculation that Beatrice and Eugenie might inherit the property, provided certain conditions are met, including the upkeep and maintenance of the estate.

Such an inheritance would not only secure their father's legacy but also offer stability for the sisters within the royal estate.

These developments highlight the complexities faced by Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie as they navigate their roles within the royal family. Balancing familial loyalty with public expectations, they continue to support their father while adapting to the evolving dynamics of the monarchy.
