Full list of young Royals in line for ‘promotions’ in bid to fill Harry and Meghan void
The Royal Family has been grappling with considerable obstacles due to the departure of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as well as forced retirements and health issues.
King Charles may see fit to draft in the support of younger generations of both working and non-working royals to help sustain the demands of royal duties.
With the departure of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from royal life in 2020, paired with the retirement of Prince Andrew, the Royal Family has lost three crucial players.
While eager to stay on top of things, the King has been forced to reduce his workload following his cancer diagnosis earlier this year. Kate, the Princess of Wales is also undergoing cancer treatment.
Speaking to Express.co.uk, one royal insider said: “The future of the Royal Family doesn’t just hinge on the Wales family. But also on other members of the Royal Family that hold a visible profile in this country and around the world.
“It’s all about building a brand and the family recognises that.”
The nieces of the King, the two Princesses of York have never held an official role within the Royal Family.
Both Beatrice and Eugenie have appeared over the years at family events including Trooping the Colour and the late Queen’s jubilee celebrations.
The daughters of the Duke and Duchess of York earlier this year joined older cousin Price William as he hosted his first garden party at Buckingham Palace.
Princess Beatrice is a graduate of Goldsmith College and holds a bachelor’s degree in History. Before becoming the Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at software company Afiniti, she briefly worked at the Foreign Office.
Princess Eugene is a History of Art and English Lit graduate and is currently a director at the art gallery Hauser & Wirth.
Both have extensively worked with charities – Eugenie is the co-founder of the Anti-Slavery Collective while Beatrice is a patron of the Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice.
