Princess Eugenie's Reluctance
Princess Eugenie is reportedly hesitant to increase her royal duties during what has been described as a "desperate" time for the monarchy, according to King Charles’ ex-butler. With King Charles and Kate Middleton facing health issues, pressure is mounting on other family members to step up.
Seeking Independence
Grant Harrold, King Charles’ former butler, shared that Princess Eugenie, a mother-of-two, is eager to maintain her own career and is not ready to commit fully to royal responsibilities. He emphasized that the demanding nature of royal duties is something she cannot easily switch on and off.
Escaping Scandal
There have been speculations that Princess Eugenie's recent move to Portugal could be linked to her desire to distance herself from her father Prince Andrew's scandal. Despite being close to her mother and sister, Eugenie may have sought solace away from the troubles in London.
A Potential Mediator
Despite her reluctance to take on more royal duties, Princess Eugenie's close relationships with Prince William and Prince Harry could position her as a potential peacemaker between the feuding brothers. Grant Harrold suggested that Eugenie might try to bridge the gap between the two if given the opportunity.
