Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice are being held back by the "toxic York brand" according to a royal commentator.
The Princesses of York are not working members of the monarchy but do regularly attend Royal Family events.
The Duke of York stepped down as a working royal following a disastrous interview with the BBC's Newsnight regarding his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told GB News that Eugenie and Beatrice are facing problems due to their disgraced father's reputation.

Discussing whether the princesses could become working royals in the future, Fitzwilliams said: "It is a possibility but I would suggest that it is a possibility in the longer term.
"The problem is the York brand is pretty toxic."
He added: "They have attended royal events and occasionally carried out royal engagements, if that was to increase a little then that would be appropriate.
"So far as becoming working members of the Royal Family or doing a large number of engagements, I would not have thought that was very likely because of the problems that still beset Andrew and his image."

She says regarding Andrew's reputation: "Randy Andy. Air Miles Andy. This is sex and girls and planes and private islands and money. With respect, the public see these stories and they think 'yep, I can believe that.'"
