話題沸騰中の Will Beatrice and Eugenie Still Be Princessesについて、多角的な視点をご紹介しています。

Here’s the family tree magic: Beatrice and Eugenie are the granddaughters of a monarch (Queen Elizabeth II) through the male line. Under the rules set by King George V in 1917, children of a monarch’s son get the title of prince or princess. So, they were born as princesses, and no one can take that away. It’s not something they earned or applied for—it’s built into their DNA, like a weird family heirloom.

But wait—does that mean they’d still be princesses if Andrew did something even more scandalous? Yes. Short of Parliament passing a specific law—which almost never happens for individual titles—they keep it. The British monarchy is stubbornly old-school about these things. Even if Andrew vanished tomorrow, his daughters would still be "Princess." It’s the only job they can’t get fired from, ironically.

What about their kids? This is where it gets hilarious

Beatrice has a stepson, Wolfie, from her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, and a baby girl named Sienna born in 2026. Eugenie has two boys: August and Ernest. Here’s the kicker: none of those kids are princes or princesses. Why? Because royal titles don’t pass through the female line in the same way. Sienna, August, and Ernest are just plain "Master" or "Miss"—no HRH, no crown emoji potential. It’s a bit of a raw deal, honestly, but that’s how the rules were written a century ago.

Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie issued warning over royal titles

So if you ever meet little August, don’t call him Prince August. He’s just August Brooksbank, and his mom is Princess Eugenie. Confusing, right? It’s like a royal version of "the mother is royalty, but the kids are commoners." The monarchy really loves these little landmines of logic.
