Earlier in October, additional titles—including ‘Duke of York’—were removed as well.
Where Beatrice and Eugenie Stand
Despite Andrew’s absence from past services, his daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie, are said to be regular attendees. According to broadcaster Neil Sean, both sisters “received personal invitations” again this year. But this time, Sean says, the circumstances place them in a tight spot.
He explained to Fox News Digital that this “puts the sisters in a very difficult dilemma.”
“If they don’t attend, it looks like they’re snubbing a prestigious invite,” Sean said.
“If they do attend, they know there could be a media circus with them at the centre of attention.”
Catherine’s Role and the Push for Unity
Sean also highlighted how the guest list is ultimately decided. “This is Catherine’s project, and she has the final say—very similar to the way Prince William operates Earthshot.”
He added that, above everything, the Royal Family wants to present a united front, especially in what he described as a challenging year for the monarchy.
“Above all, yes, the Royal Family wants to be seen as united amid what has been a very difficult year,” Sean said.
