Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie to take 'business as usual' approach to Andrew backlash

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie want to be seen as "relatable to the public" amid the new Prince Andrew backlash, a style expert has exclusively told GB News.

The daughters of the Duke of York, who are not working royals, will instead continue to show it is "business as usual".

On Friday, a new Netflix film titled Scoop dropped on the streaming platform, reenacting Prince Andrew's career-ending Newsnight interview from 2019.

During the interview, Emily Maitlis quizzed the Duke of York over his connections to the late convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.

Due to the public scandal that erupted, Prince Andrew stepped down as a working royal a few days after the interview aired.

In the new film, Rufus Sewell and Gillian Anderson starred as Prince Andrew and Maitlis respectively, showing the negotiations that occurred in the lead-up to the interview.

Actress Charity Wakefield also depicted Princess Beatrice during the new Netflix film.

The Princess of York accompanied her father to one of the negotiations between the Duke of York, Emily Maitlis and the former Newsnight producer, Sam McAlister.

Writing in The Mail, McAlister said: "Rammed into a tiny room in Buckingham Palace, the three Newsnighters (me, Emily and Deputy Editor Stewart) faced Andrew, Amanda and a very unexpected guest — his elder daughter, Princess Beatrice.

"She was dressed in navy blue, asked sensible questions about the possible logistics, and it was clear, she was close to her father and concerned for his welfare."

The York sisters have not publicly commented on the new Netflix film.

However, a style expert spoke exclusively to GB News to explain what fashion choices Beatrice, 35, and Eugenie, 34, will likely make over the coming days.

In an exclusive interview with GB News, style expert Marian Kwei said: "Beatrice and Eugenie will communicate through their clothes that it is 'business as usual' as the new Netflix film about Prince Andrew comes out.

"They will also state with their style that they are just like everyday people and want to be seen as being 'relatable' to the public and in touch with the times."

The fashion commentator added: "We saw this when Princess Eugenie chose to wear a short black satin Me + Em dress accessorised with a cardigan and vegan Loci trainers at the Hong Kong convention centre.

"The vegan trainers were in keeping with current non-leather trainer trends showing that the royals are in touch with the times with issues such as sustainability.

"The dress and cardigan combination implies she is just like one of us.

"It will be important at this time to be seen engaged with the public and at work."
