Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie’s reception by Buckingham Palace after the latter’s’ pregnancy was announced seems to have erected polar opposite camps.

While on one hand King Charles is said to have surprised everyone with the warmth with which he responded to her news, sources now warn the same can’t be sad for others in the senior most level of the Firm.

The insider in question spoke to Woman’s Day to deliver their findings and was quoted saying, “she and Jack were quite surprised by the warmth of the palace response.”

According to the source, “they had feared a frostier reception, but the King made contact and asked his officials to make a formal announcement.”

It’s also pertinent to mention that Prince William initially believed the same and didn’t want them “tainted by the sins of their father and the stupidity of both parents” but that’s changed since the Epstein Files released.

Furthermore, “the way he and Catherine have pointedly not publicly welcomed the baby news is a sign of how things have changed.”

Before concluding the source also said, “perhaps it’s best for everyone if they were to fade quietly into the background, give up their titles and keep details of their lives to themselves.”
