Prince William believes Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie should not be punished for their father's actions, according to reports.

Though Andrew Mountbatten-Windsors active role in the royal family has come to an end, both King Charles and Prince William continue to hold his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, in high regard. According to royal biographer Robert Jobson, writing for Hello!, Their titles were never in doubt.

While Andrew has lost his princely title and its associated privileges, his daughters have retained their royal status, keeping the title of princess and the style of Her Royal Highness. Jobson emphasized that although Andrew has been largely excluded from royal life, this exclusion does not extend to Beatrice and Eugenie.

King Charles has long shown affection for his nieces, and Jobson shared that Prince William is equally protective, ensuring the sisters are not penalized for Andrews controversies. Their titles were never in doubt, Jobson wrote, highlighting that Beatrice and Eugenies positions within the monarchy remain secure despite their fathers fall from grace.

Jobson noted that the Prince of Wales intends to include Beatrice and Eugenie in the royal familys ongoing activities. His stance is clear: Beatrice and Eugenie must not be punished for their fathers alleged misdeeds, he said. Friends of Prince William have described him as weary of the public uproar surrounding Andrew, preferring to focus on the future, which includes supporting the York sisters.

The biographer added, A streamlined monarchy still requires depth. Beatrice and Eugenie provide stability, purpose, and restraint. Their conduct has earned quiet respect from the public, and both King Charles and Prince William recognize the difference between holding Andrew accountable and stripping the sisters of their identity.

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams remarked that the period following Andrews scandal is deeply challenging for Beatrice and Eugenie, as their parents face public scrutiny. Despite this, the sisters remain closely connected and influential within their family. A royal source told Hello! that the bond between William and the sisters is unusually strong, shaped by shared experiences and unique royal responsibilities.

The source explained, They all belong to this institution, each contributing in their own way, yet committed to its future and willing to support it. Camilla Tominey of The Telegraph reported that Beatrice and Eugenie are still expected to attend the royal familys Christmas celebrations at Sandringham, although Andrew and their mother, Sarah Ferguson, will not be invited. King Charles reportedly wishes to shield his nieces from the fallout of Andrews situation and holds them in high regard. They really are a credit to the royal family, the insider added.

The insider noted that the sisters have the choice to spend Christmas with the royal family or privately with their parents, emphasizing that even royal celebrations can be complicated. Meanwhile, as of December 1, King Charles officially removed Andrews remaining royal honors, erasing his name from the registers of both the Order of the Garter and the Royal Victorian Order.
