"Beatrice does want to be a working royal, and she wants to do royal events to help her uncle because she'd enjoy them and she would be good at the job," a source told
Daily Mail, adding that the princess has "lost all hope" of being part of The Firm.

"Charles apparently appreciates this . . . There had at one stage been a feeling that Bea could have been lined up one day," the insider noted. "She's never put a foot wrong, don't forget – and she shouldn't be punished for the sins of her father. But the King's courtiers are concerned Andrew could try to 'get in via the back door' by exerting influence over her."
Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie remain popular, but Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew's friendship with Jeffrey Epstein could threaten their role within the royal family going forward.

Seven charities dropped Sarah Ferguson after it was reported she emailed Jeffrey Epstein despite claiming she cut ties with the late financier.
"I know you feel hellaciously let down by me from what you were either told or read and I must humbly apologize to you and your heart for that," Ferguson allegedly wrote.
The Duchess of York later dubbed Epstein a "steadfast, generous and supreme friend."

Sarah Ferguson's rep claimed the duchess wrote the message after she received a "chilling call" from Jeffrey Epstein.
"He said he would destroy the York family, and he was quite clear on that. He said he would destroy me," James Henderson said. "He wasn't shouting. He had a Hannibal Lecter-type voice. It was very cold and calm and really menacing and nasty."

"People don't understand how terrible Epstein was," James Henderson added. "I can remember everything about that call."
