Royal commentator Ingrid Seward, 76, editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine, is among those who believes the sisters’ sense of duty, relatability and family-first attitude make them an obvious fit for the future King’s streamlined monarchy.
She said: “When William ascends the throne, Beatrice and Eugenie will be valuable assets, and I’m certain they will get involved with royal duties. It makes perfect sense, because he will need them.”
Seward added: “I see them as a sort of double act, working together in the same way as married couples do. Two gorgeous Princesses working together as sisters would be very powerful. I think it would be wonderful, and I think it will happen.”
While Beatrice and Eugenie are not full-time working royals, their recent appearances suggest a more formal role may be on the horizon.
In May, Eugenie joined William and his wife Kate at a Buckingham Palace garden party, followed days later by her appointment as a mentor for The King’s Foundation’s 35 Under 35 network.
And Beatrice accompanied King Charles, 76, and Queen Camilla, 77, to an event for the Elephant Family charity, and continues to serve as one of seven Counsellors of State – appointed to step in for the monarch when needed.
