Royal Snubs and Public Scrutiny
The impact of the controversy is already being felt. Reports suggest the sisters may not be invited to attend the upcoming Royal Ascot.
According to one royal expert, the exclusion could be the first of several social snubs connected to their parents’ relationship with Epstein.
Richard Palmer believes the long-term consequences could be significant, predicting that the sisters may appear less frequently in royal circles in the future. For now, he said, they are likely keeping a low profile while the story continues to attract public attention.
Their last public appearance with the royal family was during Christmas 2025 at Sandringham, when they attended church and took part in the traditional walk with King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Prince William, Catherine Middleton, and other family members.
However, reports suggest Beatrice and Eugenie were surprised by the possibility that they might not be included in the Royal Box at Ascot this June. Some sources also claim members of the royal family have been advised to avoid being photographed with them for the rest of the year.
