00:00A fresh wave of controversy has swept through royal circles after reports suggested the palace has quietly distanced itself from
00:07two familiar figures,
00:09Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, in the shadow of the long-running scandal connected to Prince Andrew.
00:16The situation traces back to the global fallout from the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein,
00:21a controversy that continues to cast a heavy cloud over the Duke of York's public role.
00:25For years, Beatrice and Eugenie maintained a visible presence at royal events,
00:31often representing the younger generation of the monarchy with modern energy and charitable work.
00:37However, according to royal commentators, the palace has gradually shifted its focus toward a smaller group of working royals in
00:44recent years.
00:46Observers say this strategic move reflects the monarchy's effort to protect its public image
00:51while navigating one of the most difficult reputational crises in decades.
00:57Senior figures such as King Charles III and Prince William have emphasized a streamlined monarchy,
01:03concentrating official duties among a tighter circle of senior members.
01:07Despite the speculation, both princesses continue their professional careers
01:11and philanthropic efforts outside the core structure of royal duties.
01:15Still, the ongoing headlines surrounding Andrew and the Epstein scandal
01:20have ensured that any shift in the royal family's public role instantly sparks intense global attention,
01:27a reminder of how closely the world continues to watch every move within the monarchy.
