Princess Beatrice breaks silence after Andrew scandal as she lands new job

Princess Beatrice has spoken out about a new job – after her dad was stripped of his titles. In recent weeks, Beatrice and her sister, Princess Eugenie, have remained extremely quiet.

Their father, the former Duke of York, has been engulfed in scandals due to his links with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. And while Beatrice and her sister have an extremely close relationship with their parents, including mother Sarah Ferguson, the two Princesses have not been seen at the soon-to-be former family home, Royal Lodge on the Windsor Great Estate.

But just hours after it emerged that her uncle, King Charles, had stripped Andrew of all regal titles, including Royal Highness and Prince, Beatrice landed herself a new job. Now, she is the Deputy Patron of The Outward Bound Trust. She joins her uncle, Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh, who is the Royal Patron. Prior to her appointment, the Princess had served as a Trustee for six years.

Her dad, Andrew, had previously held the position of Royal Patron until 2019. Speaking about her appointment, Beatrice, 37, told the Mirror: “I feel incredibly inspired and grateful to have met so many young people like Sadie and Leo through the years that I’ve been a part of Outward Bound. They show us that anything is possible when you put your mind to it, and that what Outward Bound does, works.

“Working with The Duke of Edinburgh, we aim to continue the 80+ years of evidence which shows that adventure can build resilience, confidence and kindness in young people.” On November 6, at an Outward Bound supporters’ event held at St James’s Palace, Beatrice and Edward heard from Sadie and Leo, both 18, students from Walsall Academy, who opened up about their stories with the organisation.

During the event, Sadie handed the Duke of Edinburgh a rowan tree sapling, which symbolises strength, courage and resilience. Meanwhile, Leo presented Princess Beatrice with a Celtic brooch, signifying unity, continuity and good fortune.

Beatrice is no stranger when it comes to raising awareness of charities and organisations. Over the years, the granddaughter of the late Queen Elizabeth has worked alongside the likes of Children in Crisis, UNICEF and Teenage Cancer Trust.

Speaking about Edward’s and Beatrice’s appointment, Martin Davidson, Chief Executive of Outward Bound Trust, said in a statement: “With The Duke of Edinburgh and Princess Beatrice working alongside us, we’re embarking on a new chapter.

“One where every young person has the chance to test their limits, build confidence and discover that anything is possible. Their support reflects a shared belief that adventure changes lives.” The Princess and her uncle will continue the royal legacy of the organisation, which dates back over 70 years, thanks to her grandfather, the late Prince Philip.

The Duke served as Patron of The Outward Bound Trust from 1953 until 2019, and assisted with laying the foundations of the organisation. The news for Beatrice came after Andrew was formally stripped of all his titles – including Royal Highness and Prince, both of which he acquired at birth as the son of a monarch.

The King issued Letters Patent under the Great Seal of the Realm – a legal document authorised by the sovereign. It was published in The Gazette, the UK’s official public record, by the Crown Office and shows that Andrew is no longer entitled to be a prince or hold the style ‘Royal Highness’.

The entry, published on Wednesday, read: “THE KING has been pleased by Letters Patent under the Great Seal of the Realm dated 3 November 2025 to declare that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor shall no longer be entitled to hold and enjoy the style, title or attribute of ‘Royal Highness’ and the titular dignity of ‘Prince’.”

Due to the allegations he faces, all of which he denies, Andrew has found himself shunned by his relatives. Despite having a “cast-iron” lease on his home, Royal Lodge on The Crown Estate, he will now be exiled. Instead, he will live on the privately owned Sandringham Estate and will receive an allowance from the King.

Last month, the King issued a rare and historic statement confirming that the former Prince Andrew, Duke of York, will instead live as a private citizen, known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. It read: “His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew. Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence.

“Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease, and he will move to alternative private accommodation. These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him. Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.”

And while he has been stripped of his titles, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie will retain theirs. This is due to them being the children of a son of the monarch, their grandmother, the late Queen.

Andrew stepped down as a working royal in 2019 after he was accused by Virginia Giuffre of having sex with her in March 2001, when she was just 17. She alleged she had been trafficked by Epstein and his girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell. Virginia claimed that Epstein and his girlfriend had taken her to Tramp nightclub in London, where she met with Andrew and later had sex with him that night.

She claimed that Epstein had paid her $15,000 after sleeping with Andrew. During an interview with BBC’s Newsnight in 2019, Andrew vehemently denied the allegations and told host Maitlis he had no recollection of meeting Virginia. Andrew vehemently denies all allegations made against him.
