The Royal Family is "keen for the York family to stay under the radar" meaning that Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are unlikely to take on a significant royal role, a royal commentator has claimed.
The Princesses of York have been mooted as the most likely candidates to undertake Royal Family duties in the absence of established working royals.
The Royal Family currently has a shortage of working members of the monarchy as Princess Kate has stopped undertaking engagements due to focussing on her health.
However, it is unlikely that Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice will take on more work as they both have young families, with Eugenie welcoming her second son just last year.

He added: "There's a hope the York family, in general, will stay under the radar."
