While their parents are facing exile from the royal family, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are carrying on business as normal.
The daughters of the former Duke and Duchess of York were both pictured at charity events in London this week.
Beatrice, 37, and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, 41, made an appearance at Battersea Power Station on Thursday evening at an event for Borne, a birth research charity.
Meanwhile, hours later her sister Eugenie, 35, shared a video from The King’s Foundation’s 35 under 35 network.
‘I had an inspiring morning helping to mentor members,’ she wrote on Instagram, making it clear she isn’t hiding. Her brother-in-law Edo showed his support, reacting with a series of clapping hands emojis.

It was Beatrice’s second outing since her father, now known as just Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, was officially stripped of his titles.
The royal stepped out publicly for the first time on Monday when she toured the Borne research laboratories at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.
While it’s understood the King ‘wants to protect’ his nieces, Eugenie herself has been linked to her own scandal this week.
An art gallery of which she is a director was accused of making a ‘luxury good’ available to a ‘person connected with Russia’ between April and December 2022, despite a current ban on exporting goods worth over £250 to Russia.
The gallery is alleged to have supplied a painting titled Escape from Humanity by American artist George Condo to Alexander Popov, who runs a foundation that includes contemporary art.
Newly released documents on Wednesday, meanwhile, continued the focus on Andrew, with an email from Jeffrey Epstein appearing to confirm a photograph of the former prince with his sex accuser Virginia Giuffre was real.

Andrew also told the paedophile financier Epstein and convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell ‘I can’t take any more of this’ as he pleaded with them to make it clear he was not involved in any allegations against them.
Thousands of documents from Epstein’s estate were published by the US House Oversight Committee on Wednesday – including the exchange from March 2011 – months on from when the former prince alleged he broke off all contact with the sex offender.
Andrew’s links to Epstein eventually led to the King dramatically stripping him of his titles – putting an end to his public life.
The move followed the publication of Ms Giuffre’s posthumous memoirs, and the US government’s release of documents from the paedophile’s estate.
Ms Giuffre alleged she was forced to have sex with Andrew at Maxwell’s home in London, once at Epstein’s address in Manhattan, and once on Little St James.
The incident at Maxwell’s home, where the now infamous photo of the former duke with his accuser is reported to have been taken, allegedly occurred when Ms Giuffre was 17 years old.
Andrew is accused of taking part in an orgy with ‘underage’ girls, as well as Ms Giuffre, during the alleged incident on Little St James. The former prince vehemently denies all allegations made against him.
However, the allegations have led to Andrew and Sarah being kicked out of the Royal Lodge.
It was claimed today, Sarah is preparing to flee the UK and swap Windsor for her daughter’s £3.6million mansion in the ‘Hamptons of Europe’ on Portugal’s Atlantic coast this winter.
Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank are said to have prepared a ‘grand suite’ in their oceanfront villa for the 66-year-old to settle down after getting kicked out of Royal Lodge.
The former Duchess of York has lived with her ex-husband Andrew since 2008 despite the pair divorcing in 1996.
But unlike Andrew, who will move into a property on the private Sandringham estate in Norfolk, Fergie will now go it alone and make her own living arrangements, it is understood.
And there is space in Jack and Eugenie’s plush mansion in the exclusive CostaTerra resort, already beloved by celebrities including Hollywood royalty.
‘The word here is that Fergie will be arriving sometime in January’, one wealthy neighbour of Eugenie and Jack has said.
