King Charles III is looking out for his nieces Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie in light of the Andrew Mountbatten Windsor drama. Andrew, formerly Prince Andrew, was just stripped of his royal titles as allegations continue to emerge about his ties to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which he denies. It was a long time coming, and has really shaken things up in the family. Prince William was said to have threatened his cousins over their own status in the family, that's how bad the rest of the royals wanted Andy out!

But now, we're learning more about why Andrew finally agreed to this AND what Charles is doing in the aftermath to protect Beatrice and Eugenie. First off, a source told DailyMail.com on Thursday that the big reason the ex-Duke of York agreed to the demands - including moving out of his home at the Royal Lodge - was to protect his children, who he shares with Sarah Ferguson. According to the outlet, Andrew was promised that while he and his ex-wife would lose their titles, his children would NOT be affected. In fact, it was even better than that. His Majesty reportedly promised his younger brother that the princesses would be "allowed to accept new official royal roles" moving forward. This has proven to be true. Princess Beatrice has already added a new title to her resume: Deputy Patron of UK charity Outward Bound. Meanwhile, this week, Eugenie was seen at an event for The King's Foundation, where she helped mentor peers. Charles is standing by his word! And that's because he feels an obligation to look after the next generation. Royal expert Ingrid Seward told The Sun on Thursday: "What it means to my mind, is that the king is determined to embrace his nieces, both Beatrice and Eugenie and bring them into the royal fold in a way where they don't feel they're just being gratuitously pulled in, but they're actually doing something for it." She continued: "Eugenie's very knowledgeable about art. She works for, and has done for many years now, worked for a very important international gallery, Hauser & Wirth. I think that Charles feels quite responsible for these two girls, because it's been a hideous time for them. Really hideous." And while they both have their own families to support them through this emotional time, it's still "difficult," the source elaborated: "They've both got young children, and I know they've got supportive husbands, but they've both got young children, and I think it's been very, very difficult. This is the very kind side of the king, to embrace them and give them something that they can actually do, so they don't feel that they're just they're lucky if they go there for Christmas lunch, sort of thing. They're actually part of the royal family, and they can do their bit, which I think is important to them." Eugenie's appearance on The King's Foundation's event was "a very strong signal" from the monarch, the insider pointed out it shows, "the sins of the father are not reflected on the children." Ingrid added: "We always have to remember with King Charles that he's a man of great faith. I think it's great that he's kind of embraced these two girls and their families and said, 'don't worry we are looking after you.'" It's great Andrew's scandals aren't impacting his kids! What a tough thing for them all to navigate. Reactions, Perezcious readers? Let us know (below)!
