King Charles III, who reportedly played a key role in Prince Andrew's decision to give up his Duke of York title, holds his nieces, Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice, in high affection.
The 76-year-old monarch, who's facing health challenges due to his cancer, has reportedly ensured the two Princesses paths with the royal family remain bright and promising.
According to The Telegraph, the monarch made it clear the royal sisters must be "protected" from the fall of their York parents.
Whilst Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson will no longer be referred to as the Duke and Duchess of York, their daughters are still Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie of York.
The ending derives from their father's title, just like Prince George, Charlotte and Louis's full titles are 'of Wales' as the children of the Prince of Wales.
The same outlet claimed that the monarch holds Eugenie and Beatrice in such "high affection" that he "insisted Andrew's titles should remain in abeyance" so his daughters could keep theirs.
A source also alleged to the, "[The York sisters] really are a credit to the Royal family. They haven't done anything to deserve what has happened. It's all of their parents' making."
Their positions in the line of succession remain unchanged. Beatrice and Eugenie are currently ranked 9th and 12th in line to the British throne, respectively.
Princess Beatrice: 9th in line, with her daughter Sienna ranking 10th and her younger daughter Athena ranking 11th.
Princess Eugenie: 12th in line, with her son August ranking 13th and her younger son Ernest ranking 14th.
The York sisters - unlike their parents - will still be invited to join the royal family for Christmas at Sandringham House.
Whether or not they will attend is another story, though Beatrice, her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and stepson Wolfie went last year whilst Andrew and Sarah stayed in Windsor.
Because of her place in the royal line of succession Princess Beatrice is one of her uncle's Counsellor of State and she also stepped in for him at the King's Foundation Future Textiles Exhibition in November 2024.
King might not have made them working royals but his love and respect for his nieces is clear.
Future monarch William is also close to the sisters, however, when he ascends the throne he could reportedly be more "ruthless" with their father.
