Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are dealing with a new difficulty this week, as new reports show their inheritance chances are becoming more grim.
Their father, Prince Andrew, is immersed in a severe battle with King Charles, who has chosen to remove the Duke of York from his security detail at Royal Lodge.
Andrew has resided at Royal Lodge since 2003 and is now facing this scary "nightmare" five years after retiring as a working royal.
The repercussions for his daughters are significant: their chances of inheriting Royal Lodge have decreased substantially.
Although Andrew has a 75-year lease on the property and had planned to pass it down to Beatrice and Eugenie, the King's recent decision to reduce the duke's security staff, beginning November 1, appears to be a calculated attempt to force Andrew to quit the estate.
With this scenario, the royal sisters are sure to be unhappy and concerned about their uncertain inheritance.
Andrew has so far managed to keep his £30 million mansion, Royal Lodge, but uncertainty lurks as he awaits the withdrawal of his security detail.
With his future living arrangements uncertain, the Duke of York may soon be obliged to seek different housing.
King Charles had previously offered Andrew Frogmore Cottage, the former home of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, but the logistics of transferring might prove difficult.
Obtaining funding for a new residence and a security team will undoubtedly be tough, especially considering Andrew's links to the late sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein.
Meanwhile, the Princesses are starting their own lives, each moving into family homes with their different spouses. As their father navigates this turbulent era, the royal sisters may find themselves more estranged from the royal estate they once planned to inherit.
