This alteration hasn't gone unnoticed by the royal watch community, especially considering the renewed attention surrounding Eugenie’s father, Prince Andrew. Under investigation for allegations related to misconduct, Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing. His previous military roles and royal patronages were stripped away in 2022, and he later lost a princely title. It's important to note that being referenced in any documents does not suggest any wrongdoing on Eugenie or any other family member's part.
Despite the surrounding controversies, Buckingham Palace has reassured that Eugenie’s position within the royal family remains intact. Once the baby arrives, they will join the line of succession, expected to be positioned around 15th in line to the throne, behind Eugenie and her two sons.
