Prince William has been two members of the royal family from ever being promoted.

The future British King and first in line to the Royal throne, Prince William, does not want cousins Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie to play a big part in Royal duties.

A source tells RadarOnline: "William's feeling is that the monarchy simply cannot survive mixed messaging when it comes to the York scandal and the damage it has done to public confidence.”

"He believes there has to be a very visible and consistent separation between the institution and anyone connected to that fallout, even indirectly," the source added.

"From his perspective, allowing Beatrice and Eugenie to continue appearing at major royal occasions, mingling with senior royals, and participating in prestigious public events risks blurring the boundaries the family has spent years trying to establish,” the insider noted.
