Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice have understandably been making more headlines than usual at the moment, since their father ex-Prince Andrew (now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor) was stripped of his royal titles and evicted from Royal Lodge, where he lived with their mom, Sarah Ferguson.
But despite the chaos, it was always clear the sisters wouldn’t lose their titles. And while Prince William has made his feelings about their father known on many occasions (spoiler alert: he is not a fan!) those feelings don’t extend to them. He’s reportedly still very close with both cousins, and therefore, so is Kate Middleton!

Kate Middleton Invites Princess Beatrice And Princess Eugenie To Christmas Celebration
Because of the Prince of Wales' close relationship with his cousins, it should come as no surprise to learn that the Princess of Wales has invited them both to her annual Together at Christmas celebration, which will take place on Friday, December 5th at Westminster Abbey. It will be shown on ITV1 on Christmas Eve.
"Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie received personal invitations for this year's Together at Christmas from Princess Catherine's office," royal commentator Neil Sean told Fox News Digital.
"This is Catherine's project, and she has the final say — very similar to the way Prince William operates Earthshot," he confirmed.
Princess Beatrice And Princess Eugenie Have A 'Difficult Dilemma'
"Above all, yes, the royal family wants to be seen as united amid what has been a very difficult year," Sean continued, before going on to say that it's not yet clear whether they will actually attend, as they have tried to avoid the spotlight these days for obvious reasons.
"This puts the sisters in a very difficult dilemma," he explained. "If they don't attend, it looks like they're snubbing a prestigious invite. If they do attend, they know there could be a media circus with them at the center of attention."
Could they even be invited to spend Christmas with the royal family at Sandringham? It wouldn't be completely off the table! But two people who are definitely not invited, unsurprisingly, are their mom and dad. And two more people who we don't expect to appear on the royal family's Christmas guest list, or indeed the Princess of Wales' guest list for her carol concert, are Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Are we surprised?
Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Are Still Not Invited To Christmas With The Royal Family
According to a Vanity Fair article, Prince Harry and Meghan will not receive an invite to spend Christmas with the royal family, despite the Spare author's recent face-to-face meeting with King Charles that made royal fans think they are one step closer to a reunion.
A friend of the family reportedly told the pub: "It's not the case that Harry is going to be welcomed back with open arms and certainly not in time for Christmas. As far as the king is concerned, the door has always been left open for Harry, but Harry has to pass the trust test. If he does, then I think there could well be another meeting in the new year."
The Sussexes not being invited to Christmas at Sandringham or the Princess of Wales' carol concert could also have something to do with Prince William's feelings towards his younger brother, as the source said he has "no intention" of speaking to him yet.
The source said: "With things being so dire between William and Harry, I'm not sure Harry would even want to be at Sandringham for Christmas. It would be very awkward. He knows he'd probably get quite a frosty reception from most of the family."
