Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice have been included in a popularity poll for the first time as Beatrice is set to take up new royal roles.
Sarah Ferguson’s daughters have taken on a more visible position in the Royal Family during a busy time for the monarchy as senior royals have stepped back.
The two sisters were included in a royal favourability poll this month for the first time with an interesting approval rating.
Eugenie and Beatrice are both liked by 37 per cent of Britons while 24 per cent dislike Eugenie and 25 per cent dislike Beatrice.

However, 37-38 per cent of the respondents answered “don’t know” when asked whether they held a negative or positive opinion about the royal sisters.
The percentage of “don’t know” responses for Beatrice and Eugenie is higher than any other royal on the list, suggesting that the sisters may not be as widely recognised as other working members of the family.
Prince Andrew’s daughters are not considered senior working royals as they do not carry out official duties on behalf of the King.
However, they both commonly attend events held by the Royal Family and advocate for different charities across the UK.

The poll surveyed 2053 British adults from May 1 to May 2 and also included Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh for the first time.
Sophie has been taking on a more prominent role in the family this year and last month she became the first Royal Family member to visit Ukraine since Russia’s invasion.
The duchess scored a 54 per cent positive rating and only 13 per cent of respondents held a negative rating of her.
It comes as Princess Beatrice is expected to take on more roles within the family to support the King and Princess Kate during their cancer treatment.

LATEST ROYAL NEWS:
The 35-year-old may join King Charles during the state visit by Japan’s Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako at Buckingham Palace next month, according to the Daily Mail.
During this summer the royal calendar is full with events like Trooping the Colour, a state banquet, Garter Day, the 80th D-Day anniversary and Buckingham Palace garden parties.
With Charles taking on lighter duties amidst his cancer treatment, the King wants these events to include appearances from Beatrice and occasionally her sister Eugenie, according to a source in the Mail.
Speaking about her family in a recent interview with This Morning, Beatrice said: “Nothing’s more important than family.”
