‘It's time to STEP UP'

Princess Eugenie is preparing to take her place in the spotlight following Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex’s departure from the Royal Family.

According to royal expert and Woman’s royal columnist Duncan Larcombe, ‘The departure of Harry and Meghan and the ongoing Prince Andrew scandal has placed further demands on Eugenie and her sister to step up to the plate.’

While initially the Sussexes’ bold decision to step down as senior royals was agreed by the Queen as a one-year agreement in order to assess the ‘period of transition’, it’s looking more and more likely that the couple will not give up their life in America to return to the royal fold.

A ROYAL BABY

Now she’s expecting, Princess Eugenie is giving the family a much-needed boost this year in the form of 2021’s first royal baby. So it’s perhaps no surprise that the 30-year-old is said to be preparing to utilise the new-found interest in her to carve out a more substantial role in the Royal Family, in the wake of Meghan’s departure.

Since marrying into the Firm, Meghan has dominated headlines and there hasn’t been much room for anyone else to shine. But now, with the Sussexes settled into their Santa Barbara mansion – and juggling rumoured Spotify and Netflix deals – it seems doubtful that the couple will return to the UK.
