Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie delivered a powerful message of solidarity to Prince William and the royal family through their choice of outfits during the traditional Christmas day walk at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham.
Accompanied by their husbands, Eduardo Mapelli Mozzi and Jack Brooksbank, and walking with Prince Andrew and a beaming Sarah Ferguson, the sisters opted for a more subdued combination of navy blues and blacks, contrasting with Princess Katherine's bright blue winter coat.
Fashion expert Jennifer Von Waldorf suggested that Beatrice and Eugenie purposefully chose neutral tones to avoid stealing the spotlight from more senior family members, showcasing a united front with the Prince of Wales and their cousins.
Speaking to GB News, Von Waldorf emphasized that Beatrice and Eugenie's outfit choice conveyed a message of solidarity on Christmas, indicating that they have maintained good relationships with their cousins and saw no reason to jeopardize it. The royal family's 2023 was marked by an ongoing feud between its top members and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
However, Beatrice and Eugenie have mostly remained unscathed by the conflict, maintaining positive relationships with both William and Harry. Beatrice's promotion last year to the top rank of Counselor of State further underscores her significant role within the family.
The recent move by Beatrice and Eugenie might raise eyebrows in the Sussex camp, as the sisters were photographed meeting with Piers Morgan after he criticized Meghan back in May. The royal siblings, including Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, were seen laughing and joking with the presenter at the Princess Royal Pub in London's Notting Hill. Harry and Meghan were reportedly astonished by this rendezvous, considering Piers Morgan's outspoken views against them.
However, Beatrice and Eugenie, who enjoyed a close relationship with the Sussexes before their move to the US and the publication of Harry's memoir "Spare," do not see their actions as wrongdoing.
Insiders claim that Harry's friendship with Beatrice and Eugenie is a source of concern for King Charles, as the trio shares common interests in philanthropy. Harry offers career advice to his cousins, while Meghan provides insights into parenting, lifestyle, and nutrition.
The royal family is reportedly worried about the close ties between Beatrice, Eugenie, and the Sussexes, given that the sisters still have access to information inside Buckingham Palace. There is a concern about what they may inadvertently reveal, posing potential challenges for the royal family.
