Will Beatrice and Eugenie Still Be Princesses
Beatrice and Eugenie live what I’d call "princess-lite" lives. They have jobs—Beatrice works in tech and Eugenie is in art and philanthropy. They don’t get taxpayer funding for security, and they skip most official royal events unless it’s a big family shindig like Trooping the Colour. They’re basically the cool cousins who show up to weddings but don’t do the boring paperwork.
And yet, they still pop up at charity galas and occasionally pose for photos at Balmoral. They’ve got that low-key princess vibe—enough fame to get a table at a nice restaurant, but not enough to be chased by paparazzi daily. Honestly? It’s probably the best of both worlds. They get the title without the 24/7 scrutiny that William and Kate face.

So, what’s the verdict for the pub quiz?
The final answer: Beatrice and Eugenie are still princesses, but they’ve downgraded from "working royals" to "princesses on a gap year." They have the title, they just don’t use the HRH stamp. Think of it like having a PhD but never using "Dr." at Starbucks—you’ve still got the degree, but you’re not flexing it.
If you want to be pedantic (and who doesn’t love that?), you can say they’re "princesses of the blood" but not "princesses of the realm" in an active sense. But for casual conversation, just say "yes, they are still princesses." Unless you’re at a royalist dinner party, in which case, brace yourself for a two-hour debate about the Succession to the Crown Act 2013.
So next time someone tries to tell you they lost their titles, you can confidently say, "Nope, they’re still Princesses—they just don’t work for the family business anymore." And then maybe order another round. You’ve earned it.
