🔗 Share this article How the Duke's Titles Loss Means for Sarah Ferguson, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie Prince Andrew's removal from the last vestiges of monarchical duties has not only altered his path - it's sending ripples through his family too. Fergie's Title Change The former spouse has now lost her duchess title and will simply be known as Sarah Ferguson. For Ferguson, sixty-six, the change will be the most visible. Throughout this period, she has kept the courtesy royal post-marital designation Sarah, York Duchess. Currently, she reverts to her birth name of Ferguson. "She will have lost a bit of cachet over this," said one monarchy expert. "She certainly does use the title – including her Twitter bio is @TheDuchessSarah." But the relinquishment of her status may impact her much less than the scandal she's dealing with independently about her own connections to Jeffrey Epstein. Recently, multiple organizations dropped her as patron after correspondence from 2011 revealed that she called Epstein her "supreme friend" and appeared to express regret for her negative comments of him. Business Ventures and Charity Work Away from her philanthropy, Ferguson also has multiple commercial enterprises. And these, too, are more likely to be impacted by the Epstein scandal than any change in title, says one royal commentator. But Ferguson has been a remarkable endure in royal circles. She's kept bouncing back. "She's the supreme perseverer and expert at transforming," said one monarchy writer. The Princesses Princess Beatrice and Princess Beatrice seen at a royal celebration in last year For the couple's two daughters, Beatrice, 37, and Eugenie, thirty-five, there's no formal change. They will still be referred to as royal princesses, which they have been granted since birth. Additionally there is no modification to the line of succession. The prince stays eighth in line to the crown, followed by his children Beatrice and Eugenie, in ninth and twelfth place respectively. But in practice their standing are "low down" and will probably become much further down as time goes on. Coming Opportunities Beatrice and Eugenie are also currently non-official royals, and while they occasionally take on roles – The younger princess was recently named as a mentor for the monarch's charity network – experts also say they "can't see a scenario" in which they would advance into royal duties. "As far as Beatrice and Eugenie are concerned, I think there's an understanding of the fact that this scandal doesn't involve them, and it's not fair for it to affect them personally in the independent lives they are building for themselves," says one royal commentator. "Their daughters are particularly unlucky victims, they've had to endure quietly and have been dignified in their reserve," states another monarchy writer. Final Impact In the end, there seems to be minimal uncertainty that the individual who will be most impacted by all of this will be the Duke himself. For someone who always liked the royal privileges, the pomp and the pageantry, the relinquishment of his honors is deeply humiliating. So to not have those, on a personal level, will significantly count.
