Independent Careers and Private Lives
Despite the challenges, both women have built professional careers outside royal duties.
Princess Eugenie works in the art world, holding a position at a London gallery. Princess Beatrice has pursued a career in business and technology consulting.
Both sisters have also chosen not to grant royal titles to their children, which could help distance the next generation from formal royal obligations.
