It looks like Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are staying far away from the royal family after their father, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, was pushed out due to his ties to Jeffrey Epstein! Back in November, royal commentator Neil Sean revealed to Fox News that Princess Catherine extended personal invitations to the pair for her annual Christmas carol service, all in an effort to present a united front following the former duke's scandal. He said: "Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie received personal invitations for this year's 'Together at Christmas' from Princess Catherine's office. This is Catherine's project, and she has the final say - very similar to the way Prince William operates Earthshot. Above all, yes, the royal family wants to be seen as united amid what has been a very difficult year."

If they do attend, they know there could be a media circus with them at the center of attention." They're damned if they do and damned if they don't, so what did they decide? It turns out the sisters DECLINED Catherine's invitation. Eugenie took to Instagram Stories to announce she and Beatrice won't be at the event on Friday night, saying: "Wish Bea and I could have been celebrating tonight with our family. Wishing @princeandprincessofwales such a special evening at her incredible carol service. What an amazing message of love and hope." Are Eugenie and Beatrice simply trying to keep a low profile amid the controversy? Or do they have beef with Catherine and the other royal family members for kicking out Andrew? Hmm.
