Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie hoped their uncle King Charles would provide support after months of turmoil.
The royal family had gathered at Buckingham Palace to mark Trooping the Color and the historic balcony photo was a clear signal to the sisters about their position in the royal family.
Only the oldest working members of the family were included, the others did not receive an invitation. While the royal family showed their united front in the United Kingdom, Beatrice and Eugenie showed theirs all the way to Austria.
As the royal event came to a close, it was revealed that the sisters had chosen to quietly leave the UK before the Trooping began. Instead, they attended a Schwarzenberg family wedding at St. Charles Church in Vienna.
Beatrice was dressed in a shimmering gold wool-blend lamé dress from The Vampire’s Wife. Meanwhile, pregnant Eugenie opted for a Dark Navy Cashmere Silk dress by Gabriela Hearst.
This appearance comes at a major turning point in events as the princesses face the prospect of being evicted from their royal homes.
Following the NAO audit report, which revealed Charles was paying for their royal residences as they lived rent-free, reports claim Beatrice and Eugenie were told to find their own accommodation.
However, no official announcement has been made regarding this.
Additionally, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams had also warned that royal fans shouldn’t expect the sisters to make any official family appearances anytime soon, especially after attending their cousin Peter Phillip’s wedding.
“This was a private royal event so it was natural that Beatrice and Eugenie would attend and be warmly welcomed,” Fitzwilliams told GB News. “However, their problem remains that they are always in the eye of a storm that is collapsing, however unfairly, because of their parents, who are notorious.”
He explained: “So that will pose a problem because their presence at an official royal event, at that time with their disgraced parents, would overshadow it. »
