Despite Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson's banishment from The Firm due to their ties to Jeffrey Epstein, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie will keep their titles. According to a source, the sisters will also continue to be invited to holiday celebrations with the royal family.

According to former BBC royal correspondent
Jennie Bond, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are likely to stand by their parents, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, amid their downfall. "Whatever else you might think about Andrew and Sarah, they are brilliant parents and have brought up two very decent young women. They will remain princesses and be welcome at events with the rest of the royal family, such as Christmas at Sandringham," she
said. "However, they are extremely close to their parents and have stayed loyal through thick and thin. I'm sure they'll be supporting Andrew and Sarah through this latest crisis, just as they have been there for them in the past. They must believe their father's protestations of innocence, otherwise they surely couldn't live with themselves."

In light of new accusations from alleged Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre in her posthumous memoir, Prince Andrew announced he was relinquishing his title as the Duke of York. "In discussion with King Charles III and my immediate and wider family, we have concluded that the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the royal family. I have decided, as I always have, to put my duty to my family and country first," he said. "I stand by my decision five years ago to stand back from public life. With His Majesty's agreement, we feel I must now go a step further. I will therefore no longer use my title or the honors which have been conferred upon me. As I have said previously, I vigorously deny the accusations against me."

Sarah Ferguson, who also lost her royal title, was dropped by numerous charities after an alleged email she sent to Jeffrey Epstein was made public earlier this year. "The duchess spoke of her regret about her association with [Jeffrey] Epstein many years ago and as they have always been, her first thoughts are with his victims," the mother of two's spokesperson said as the scandal made headlines. "Like many people, she was taken in by his lies. As soon as she was aware of the extent of the allegations against him, she not only cut off contact but condemned him publicly, to the extent that he then threatened to sue her for defamation for associating him with [abusing children]. She does not resile from anything she said then. This email was sent in the context of advice the duchess was given to try to assuage Epstein and his threats."
