Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie "have never put a foot wrong" as their royal promotion is being considered, a commentator has claimed.
Prince Andrew's daughters are not working members of the Royal Family, despite being ninth and 11th-in-line to the throne respectively.
However, royal commentator Richard Eden believes the sisters could be given a promotion while their father should step down as counsellor of state.
Eden claimed: "It’s been a difficult week for the Royal Family, with allegations of Prince Andrew’s seedy past casting a shadow over his brother’s reign."

The commentator also suggested: "For the good of the Monarchy, King Charles needs to distance himself from his brother.
"Unbelievably, Andrew remains a counsellor of state, just like his nephew Prince Harry.
"This means that either of them could, in theory at least, be required to stand in for the King and carry out important duties in his absence.
"The fact that this is even a possibility brings the monarchy into disrepute.
"The King should immediately ask Parliament to approve the removal of Andrew and Harry as counsellors of state.
"They should also lose their places – eighth and fifth respectively – in the order of succession."
The royal commentator continued to tell Palace Confidential that an "olive branch" regarding his daughters could appease Prince Andrew.
Eden opined: "Andrew is a notoriously proud man, and there is one olive branch that he could be offered by the King that would help ease the blow of his humiliation.
LATEST ROYAL NEWS:
"His daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, could be given more prominent roles in the Royal Family.
"They have a great sense of duty, and have never put a foot wrong, so I’m sure they would be happy to carry out more royal duties for the King.
"Andrew could take pride that the next generation was taking on his cherished former role as a working royal."
