Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie 'in very difficult position' as royal event looms
The York sisters could face a difficult decision regarding their plans this year.
Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are said to be in a "very difficult" position as a key date in the royal calendar approaches. The Royal Family will likely gather at Sandringham in December for their Christmas festivities and come together to attend a traditional service at St Mary Magdalene church.
However, following the latest bombshells regarding their parents, Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York, a royal author suggested they could feel "it would be unfair" of them to join their uncle, King Charles, and the rest of the royals on their own. Various sources have recently claimed that Prince Andrew and Sarah have already been told they are not welcome at Sandringham this year amid the latest update on the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
Friends of the King said the monarch wants the couple to be "invisible" at future gatherings.

It comes shortly after Fergie caused a worldwide sensation when emails she sent to the convicted paedophile showed her "humbly" apologising to her "supreme friend" for publicly disowning him.
Now, royal author Phil Dampier has given his own take on how Andrew and Fergie's daughters could react ahead of this year's royal Christmas plans.
Mr Dampier told the Daily Mail: "If they are not invited or decide not to go, then it will be very difficult for Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. They may feel it would be unfair of them to go when their parents aren’t there, and it simply rubs salt in their wounds.
"The King has a soft spot for both Beatrice and Eugenie and feels sorry for the situation they are in. So it’s a real dilemma for him and one he could do without."
Last year, Andrew and Fergie did not attend Christmas at Sandringham after it was reported that the Duke had become close with alleged Chinese spy, Yang Tengbo.
Princess Eugenie was also absent from the celebrations as she spent the festive season with her husband, Jack Brooksbank's family.
Princess Beatrice did attend the church service with the rest of the royals as she was heavily pregnant at the time and was advised not to travel to Italy to spend time with the family of her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.
