Musings about Princess Beatrice and Eugenie's future in the royal family have been rife since their father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, was stripped of his royal titles in late 2025 and exiled from his home in February 2026.
Royal watchers wondered whether his and Sarah Ferguson's daughters would remain in the fold, and while they have been mostly absent from royal soirees since the scandal, they did reappear for their cousin, Peter Phillips' wedding earlier this month, suggesting they are still close to the other royals.
One thing not set to be impacted by the behaviour of their parents is the bank account figures held by Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice.

"Anyone worried that the York daughters may end up short of cash given the shenanigans of their parents need not worry," royal finance expert Norman Baker told the Daily Mail.
How so? In part due to marrying well. Both Eugenie and Beatrice married moneyed men, with Beatrice's husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi descending from Italian aristocracy and now working as CEO of his own property development company, while Eugenie's husband, Jack Brooksbank, is equally wealthy and also works as a property developer.
As well as their well-off husbands, both princesses benefit from trust funds established for each of them by the Queen Mother in the 1990s and subsequently by the late Queen Elizabeth II as well, according to Baker, who writes that the trust funds: "Were designed to ensure the absolute minimum would have to be paid in tax. Their father also set up a trust fund for them."

Eugenie and Jack also own a property in Portugal, as his work takes him to the Algarve on a regular basis.
Eugenie and Beatrice's careers
As non-working royals, the princesses both hold jobs that contribute to their wealth.
The sisters attended university (Princess Beatrice went to Goldsmiths in London, while Princess Eugenie studied in Newcastle), and have forged successful careers in their fields to keep them afloat.

Princess Eugenie carved a role for herself at the prestigious Mayfair art gallery Hauser and Wirth where she is now a director.
With Princess Beatrice, mother to two children, and with Eugenie expecting her third baby, it's a relief to know that the little ones will be well looked after, regardless of their grandfather's misdemeanours.
