King Charles has not made the York princesses working members of the Royal Family

Princess Beatrice hosted a tea party at St James's Palace, as her royal status continues to hang in the balance.

The Princess of York, despite not being a working royal, welcomed the group Arkell Dyslexia to St James's Palace as its patron.


The group posted on X: "Huge thanks to our patron HRH Princess Beatrice who hosted a special tea party for us at St James’s Palace last week.

"Our guests were thrilled to meet the princess who spoke passionately about her own experience of dyslexia. An inspiring afternoon for all."

The event saw the royal, 35, meet with close supporters to discuss her longstanding association with the group.

Beatrice has openly spoken about having benefitted from its services before officially joining as a patron.

The royal wore an H&M dress for the engagement which has been in her closet since 2016.

Royal fans were pleased to see Beatrice perform a public engagement, as she is not considered a working royal.

One posted on X: "So very nice to see Princess Beatrice working at her event. She has really come into finding herself since she got married.

"I think she would be good doing a few events if it was possible.

"She gives a very positive attitude to the public with her smile."

Since becoming the monarch in 2022, King Charles has not enlisted Beatrice or her younger sister Princess Eugenie as working royals.

Despite this, the princesses hold private jobs and perform a lot of charity work in their own time.

Since Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and Prince Andrew's departure as working royals, many commentators have predicted that the King could enlist the Duke of York's daughters as working royals.

However, their royal status continues to hang in the balance.

Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi live in an apartment at St James's Palace along with their daughter, Sienna Mapelli Mozzi.
