The negotiations between former Prince Andrew and King Charles intensified after a report alleged a behind-the-scenes agreement covering his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
The piece claimed the understanding emerged as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor accepted losing titles and leaving Royal Lodge. Consequently, his daughters would keep their styles and positions in the succession. Moreover, they could step into sanctioned duties. The timing matters because streamlined monarchy talk has persisted for years.
Prince Andrew’s daughters ‘allowed to accept new royal roles’ amid controversy, per source
As per the Daily Mail report dated November 13, 2025, Outward Bound’s chief executive, Martin Davidson, said, “With the Duke of Edinburgh and Princess Beatrice working alongside us, we’re embarking on a new chapter.” He added, “One where every young person has the chance to test their limits, build confidence and discover that anything is possible.”
In practice, that appointment landed a week after the King confirmed Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s losses. Additionally, the charity named Prince Edward as Royal Patron, underscoring palace sign-off. Therefore, watchers read Beatrice’s Deputy Patron role as a signal that King Charles and the two heiresses’ involvement will rise, albeit carefully.
Beyond that, the report says Beatrice remains a Counsellor of State, while both sisters keep their places in line. Furthermore, Eugenie and Beatrice are expected to increase charity visibility, including Beatrice’s ongoing work with Borne after her daughter’s premature birth. Contextually, the family optics are delicate because of their parents’ controversies. Nevertheless, the piece frames the daughters’ roles as distinct from their father’s status.
As per the Daily Mail report, a royal source said, “It is, perhaps, one of the few things that His Majesty and Andrew agree on.” The source continued, “They both love Beatrice and Eugenie and want the best for them. They also agree that the princesses can play an important, helpful role in public life.”
Overall, the narrative between Prince Andrew and King Charles appears to be shifting from removal to recalibration. If this holds, expect measured engagements that keep focus on service rather than the saga.
