While King Charles is said to have warm ties with his niece and may wish to see her celebrated, William appears to have a different vision for the monarchy — one that leaves his daughters outside the core group of senior working royals.

Former royal butler Grant Harrold, who worked for Charles from 2004 to 2011, told Express UK that the Prince of Wales is unlikely to offer Beatrice a larger role. He noted that William is already working to strip his uncle Andrew of titles and will likely hold back on extending any new honors to his cousins.

According to Harrold, Beatrice is well-liked within the family and often steps in when needed, but her full-time career outside royal duties makes it unlikely she will be brought into the senior fold. “They call on her when support is needed, but she has her own job and does her own thing. She’s still a valued member of the family,” he said.

Harrold also praised her ability to handle tense situations, particularly given the scandals surrounding her father. He liked her composure to that of the late Queen Elizabeth, noting she has managed to remain on good terms with both William and Harry despite their strained relationship.
