Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have reportedly taken decisive action to strengthen their position within the Royal Family and protect its image amidst the ongoing scandal surrounding their father, Prince Andrew.

According to royal commentator Jennie Bond, the York sisters held a crucial meeting with their mother, Sarah Ferguson, to mitigate the potential damage caused by Andrew's actions. This intervention came in the wake of reports that Andrew and Sarah were considering skipping the traditional Sandringham walkabout with the rest of the Royal Family.

In an interview with OK!, Bond addressed the controversy surrounding Andrew's alleged association with an individual suspected of espionage. "Andrew would have to be living on another planet to be unaware of the furore surrounding his association with an alleged spy," she stated.

"Just as the year is set to end on a high for the Royal Family – with the King and Princess of Wales greeting the crowds on Christmas Day – along comes another embarrassing row involving the Duke of York," Bond added, emphasizing the potential for further damage to the Royal Family's reputation.

The royal expert believes that King Charles, known for his kindness, faced the difficult decision of potentially "un-inviting or banning" his brother from the significant family gathering. However, Bond suggests that "Andrew [might] have sat down with Fergie, and possibly his daughters, to discuss the best solution."

Bond praised the York family for recognizing that Andrew's presence at Sandringham would have been a "distracting embarrassment" on a day that should be focused on celebrating the King and Queen Consort.

It's noteworthy that Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie were in attendance at King Charles' pre-Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace. Furthermore, Eugenie recently paid a subtle tribute to Meghan Markle by wearing a pair of earrings by Sophie Lis, known as the "Fallen Star Hoop Earrings," which are also owned by the Duchess of Sussex.
