Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are taking a step back from the royal spotlight this Easter, opting out of the family celebration due to the ongoing scandal involving their father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. The sisters, aged 37 and 36 respectively, won’t be at the traditional Easter Sunday service at Windsor Castle, making their absence more than just a minor hiccup in royal protocol.
King Charles III and Queen Camilla are preparing to attend the Easter Matins Service at St. George’s Chapel, but the scrutiny surrounding Andrew—a former Duke, stripped of his titles in late 2025 and involved in various controversies—casts a shadow on the family gathering. With royal duties still in play, it seems the ringing of church bells can’t drown out the whispers swirling around the palace.
Amid rumors and family upheaval, a source shared that Beatrice and Eugenie are less anxious about Andrew’s legal woes than they are about their own reputations as the fallout continues. With their heads held high, they’re managing a complex mix of family loyalty and public perception. This royal drama might just need its own reality show, but I’m sure they’d rather skip the cameras for Easter brunch!
