With Christmas now having ended, an expert has come forward to point out how similar Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie’s current situation is to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s original Megxit proposal.
For those unversed, the royals requested a ‘half-in-half-out’ arrangement that the Queen quickly shot down, however, after the public backlash surrounding their father’s friendship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein came out, the sisters seem to be enjoying a similar arrangement despite not being full time royals, from birth.
Royal Correspondent for Five News Simon Vigar, is the expert that highlighted the nuances surrounding it all, and shared his findings to The Sun’s Royal Exclusive podcast on YouTube.
In it he said, “It’s been a devastating year for them. A devastating year for the girls I would have thought.” But still “they’re in an interesting position because they do public engagements, but they also have their private work and their private lives,” he said.
He also drew parallels and admitted, “they’re sort of half in half out, actually the thing that Harry wanted. Beatrice and Eugenie aren’t full time working royals, so they don’t quite have the public exposure that the others do.”
Furthermore, the sisters are also in line to be preferred when it comes to William’s reign because “it’s slimmed down all by itself hasn’t it, but they’re going to need help in the public jobs they do,” he concluded by saying.
