Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie of York made a powerful statement of unity as they joined the King and Queen Consort for the traditional Christmas Day walkabout at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sundringham.
Accompanied by their husbands Eduardo Mapley-Mosey and Jack Brooksbank, the princesses walked just a few steps behind Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, radiating warmth and support.
While Catherine, the Princess of Wales, exuded elegance in a vibrant blue winter coat and matching hat, Beatrice and Eugenie opted for a more understated combination of navy blues and blacks.
Fashion expert Jennifer von Waldedorf suggested that the sisters intentionally chose not to steal the limelight from senior members of the family.
Instead, they presented a united front alongside Prince Charles and their other cousins.
Speaking to GB News, von Waldedorf emphasized that Beatrice and Eugenie’s outfit choices conveyed a message of solidarity during the Christmas season.
It is evident that they have maintained positive relationships with their cousins and see no reason to jeopardize that.
Consequently, the sisters decided to adopt a neutral approach this year.
Unfortunately, the royal family’s 2023 was once again overshadowed by the ongoing feud between top members of the institution and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The year began with the release of Harry’s memoir, “Spare,” and concluded with the publication of Omid Scobie’s bombshell book, “Endgame.”
However, Beatrice and Eugenie have managed to maintain good relationships with both Prince William and Prince Harry, sparing themselves from the impact of the ongoing conflict.
In fact, Beatrice was promoted to the esteemed position of Councillor of State last year, granting her the opportunity to represent the King on official duties in his absence or in the event of illness.
Additionally, Eugenie is among the few members of the royal family who have visited the Sussexes in California since their decision to step down from official duties nearly four years ago.
The recent actions of Beatrice and Eugenie may not sit well with Harry and Meghan in Montecito, as the Sussexes were reportedly taken aback by photos showing their cousins meeting with Piers Morgan after his criticism of Meghan.
In May, the royal siblings met with Piers and other friends, including chart-topping singer James Blunt, at the Princess Royal pub in London’s Notting Hill.
Witnesses observed them laughing and joking with the presenter as they left the venue.
A source revealed that Harry and Meghan were surprised by this encounter, considering the negative remarks Piers had made about them as a couple, particularly Meghan.
However, Beatrice and Eugenie do not believe they have done anything wrong.
Prior to the Sussexes’ relocation to the United States and the publication of Harry’s revealing memoir, the sisters, especially Eugenie, enjoyed a close bond with Harry and Meghan.
Insiders claim that Harry’s friendship with Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie is a cause for concern among King Charles and his wife, Camilla, as well as the Waleses.
The trio worries about the close relationship between the Sussexes and the York sisters due to their shared interests, such as philanthropy and receiving career advice from Harry.
The source added that while Meghan excels in areas like parenting, lifestyle, and nutrition, there is apprehension about what Beatrice and Eugenie might inadvertently reveal, given their privileged access to Buckingham Palace.
In conclusion, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie showcased their unwavering support for the royal family during the Christmas walkabout.
