Now, reports suggest the Royal Family has barred them from attending royal engagements for the foreseeable future.
The Royal Family has faced significant upheaval following revelations about former Prince Andrew’s close association with the late convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. With the release of the Epstein files, it also emerged that his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, had links to him as well.
Their daughters, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, have largely stayed out of the spotlight. However, reports indicate that after the latest disclosures — and their father’s arrest on suspicion of misconduct in office a few weeks ago — the sisters may have distanced themselves from him.
Different reactions behind the scenes
Beatrice and Eugenie are said to have handled their parents’ involvement in the Epstein scandal in different ways. According to reports, both have struggled with the publication of the latest files.
Per Express, citing Radar Online, a source claimed, “Beatrice has always had a fiercely loyal streak, especially when it comes to her father. Her instinct is to stand by Andrew and show solidarity, regardless of the public backlash.”
