Beatrice and Eugenie of York, who could support the monarchy in its most difficult moment

That the British monarchy is experiencing a moment of great difficulty is not new, and it may need help to manage the temporary absence of King Charles III and Kate Middletonmaking use of Beatrice and Eugenie of Yorkdaughters of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.

This possibility was raised by several British royal watchers, including the biographer Phil Dampier, who spoke about it on Channel 4. According to the expert, the princesses «are willing to do more and would be happy to lend a hand. We just need to give them the green light.” No limits regarding paternal errors: “His crimes are not their fault and they are high in the line of succession.”Dampier continued.

The hypothesis, in fact, has its own reason. With Prince Andrew far from public life and Harry now out of any possibility of holding royal duties, at least in the immediate future, the monarchy lacks it – in fact- an entire generation that represents it. Acting in King Charles's stead are his wife Camilla, his younger sister Anna and his brother Edward, Duke of Edinburgh. And the list ends here. Prince William is, of course, torn between his wife and three children, so he's staying a void of representation.

The princesses of York could therefore carry out an important support action. Grandchildren of Queen Elizabeth, they have participated in countless events, both alone and with the sovereign, and certainly don't need to learn from scratch. “Many organizations and charities are looking for a royal patron and would welcome them. They already have about thirty in total, so why not a few more? They are pleasant and intelligent women, now also wives and mothers with life experience”, continued the expert. Future roles may also be filled by Louise and James, children of Prince Edward, but the two boys are still very young, they are 20 and 17 years old respectively, definitely too early for any commitment.

The monarchy needs help and it needs it now, this is why the princesses could be the right option for Charles III, perhaps the only one to make the work of Princess Anne and Prince Edward easier, who are doing their utmost to support him. And who knows, maybe the time has come for Eugie and Bea, as everyone in the family calls them, to take center stage.
