Consider an isometric immersion \(x:M^n\longrightarrow {\mathbb E}^m\) of an \(n\)-dimensional manifold \(M^n\) into \(m\)-dimensional Euclidean space and \(\Delta\) the Laplace operator of the induced metric on \(M^n\). It is well known that \(\Delta x=-n \overrightarrow H\) where \( \overrightarrow H\) is the mean curvature vector. The submanifold is \textit{biharmonic} if \(\Delta \overrightarrow H=0\), equivalently \(\Delta^2x=0\). In [Soochow J. Math. 17, No. 2, 169--188 (1991; Zbl 0749.53037)], \textit{B.-Y. Chen} conjectured that every biharmonic submanifold of Euclidean space is minimal and many partial results exist. In the present paper, the author proves that every biharmonic hypersurface with three distinct principal curvatures in a Euclidean space is minimal. As a corollary, the author proves that every biharmonic \(\mathrm O(p)\times \mathrm O(q)\)-invariant hypersurface in \({\mathbb E}^{p+q}\) is minimal.
