We’ve been observing a significant shift in how Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice are positioning themselves within the Royal Family, especially as they navigate the complex fallout surrounding their mother and father. This week, we explore the delicate balance that these two women must strike between family loyalty and the necessity of carving out distinct, professional identities that stand entirely separate from their parents.

We delve into the PR mechanics of their public appearances and ask whether a more defined strategy could help them transition from the shadow of the past into valued, independent roles. Is it possible that the right communication plan and a focus on their individual lives will allow them to navigate this PR storm?

In this episode:

•The pivotal moment for Eugenie and Beatrice as they establish independent royal identities

•Why individual strategies are essential for distinguishing the sisters from their parents’ narrative

•Analysing the PR implications of travel locations and high-profile public appearances

•Your comments and feedback from the community read on the pod
