King Charles has reportedly snubbed his nieces Princess Eugenie and Beatrice by not inviting them at Trooping the Colour.
According to a report by the GB News, King Charles will be joined by Prince William, Kate Middleton, their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis and his siblings Princess Anne and Prince Edward, alongside Queen Camilla, Timothy Laurence and the Duchess of Edinburgh.
Last year, Princess Beatrice and Eugenie were also widely rumored to be attending 2024's Trooping the Colour, but were "shockingly snubbed" by King Charles courtiers with no invite.
This year, Eugenie and Beatrice are also joined in the snub list by their father Prince Andrew, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The fresh snub to Eugenie and Beatrice has been reported after royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams shared a strong warning for King Charles and other senior members of the royal family regarding the York sisters.
Speaking to the GB News, Richard Fitzwilliams recently said the Firm would face a “huge problem” if Beatrice and Eugenie were to appear on the Buckingham Palace balcony during Trooping the Colour.
The royal expert warned the inclusion of currently non-working royals at Trooping the Colour would send the “wrong message.”
He said, “It would bring into focus the fact that Andrew does not appear, and anything to do with him is still too toxic.”
The royal expert said that the balcony appearances are an “iconic” symbol of unity and prestige that extended back to Queen Victoria.
“Unfortunately for Yorks, there is a problem, a huge problem, and it would send a message that would not be appropriate at the moment.”
