Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie will miss commemorations for what would have been the late Queen Elizabeth II’s 100th birthday, a royal expert has claimed. Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s daughters will not be present at the events today, as they are official engagements, and will only feature working members of the Royal Family, such as the Princess Royal, according to Richard Fitzwilliams.
Some royals were not invited as they would have diverted attention away from the late monarch, he added. The expert told The Mail that Andrew would not have been invited, as he has “disgraced” the Firm. He added: “His daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie did not attend the service at Easter with the royal family and have become controversial, especially owing to their parents’ links to the deceased paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, so they could not be asked either.”
Moreover, Harry and Meghan could not have been invited, due to the distress they caused Britain’s longest reigning sovereign during the last years of her life, Fitzwilliams said.
