The Firm has been warned against promoting Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie to more senior duties by royal author Angela Levin.
The prospect has been mooted by some with the slimmed down monarchy under strain as a result of King Charles and Princess Kate’s health issues.
Kate is recovering from planned abdominal surgery while the King is undergoing treatment for cancer.
Speaking on GBN America, Levin said this will not be enough to prompt the Royal Family to turn to Beatrice and Eugenie for increased support.

She fears the couple remain close with Prince Harry, and the Duke of Sussex could lean on them to accrue information that could be used in future media publications.
“I don’t think it’s a possibility”, she told Nana Akua.
“Beatrice is very stable, but I think they wonder what they will pass on to Harry.
“They don’t want to give them information to potentially pass on.
“Harry could maybe get the information bought by Netflix in exchange for another contract.”
It comes amid renewed hopes for a royal rekindling, with Harry telling Good Morning America in a televised interview that he hopes to be on hand to support his father as much as possible during his recovery.

Reports even suggest the Duke is willing to carry out a royal role while his father is ill, despite stepping back in 2020.
However, the arrangement he accepted when stepping down as a working royal alongside his wife the Duchess of Sussex in 2020, is reportedly set to remain in place.
A source told The Telegraph: “Those terms were quite clear, and the King’s illness hasn’t altered that.”
Another told the newspaper that the view a hybrid model of being a working royal was not appropriate still “remains the case”.
The Duke and his father are said to have had several “warm exchanges” since the King’s illness was diagnosed, The Times claimed.
A royal source also told the newspaper that Charles, 75, is keen to reconcile and see more of his son, and believes doing so would benefit the monarchy.
The source told The Times: “On all practical levels it makes perfect sense for the family to come together to support the King while he’s sick.
“Much has been said on both sides in recent years, but that has never diminished the fundamental bond of blood, and there are now pragmatic aspects to consider, with the King and Kate’s wellbeing paramount in this.
“The details of the Clarence House meeting and subsequent conversations are private, but the feeling is that this arrangement could work.”
