Lip reader claims Princess Beatrice and Eugenie vowed ‘we’re in this together’ as Andrew was stripped of titles – after fans suggested Mayfair photos were ‘staged’

It was a remarkable sight to watch Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie appear together for the first time on the day their disgraced father Andrew Mountbatten Windsor officially became a commoner.

On November 7, the sisters, 37 and 35 respectively, appeared oblivious to onlookers as they hugged each other before exchanging what appeared to be consoling words in the middle of a busy London street.

Besides being considered an extraordinarily public interaction for a royal under normal circumstances, the timing of Beatrice and Eugenie’s meeting in Mayfair also led some fans to question whether the interaction even happened. photos were ‘staged’.

But forensic lip reader Nicola Hickling told the Daily Mail that “it’s rare for something to affect me this much” and claimed the sisters made a promise to each other during their conversation.

Miss Hickling claimed Beatrice told her younger sister ‘we are in this together, remember that’ when they met near Green Park and Buckingham Palace.

The lip reader also claimed Beatrice told her sister that ‘things are going to get harder’ and ‘we can’t do anything’, before Eugenie said ‘everything is changing’.

Andrew, 65, formerly a Prince, was removed from the royal family and expelled from the Royal Lodge amid renewed scrutiny over his ties to pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Beatrice and Eugenie, who looked upset during their meeting in London last week, are back at work following the scandal surrounding Andrew.

Analyzing the emotionally charged moment, forensic lip reader Nicola Hickling told the Daily Mail that “it’s rare for something to affect me this much” and claimed the sisters made a promise to each other during their conversation.

Ms Hickling claimed Beatrice and Eugenie claimed they were “anxious”, while Beatrice reportedly stated that it was “a really anxious time”.

They met around the same time Charles issued a rare Letters Patent to remove Andrew’s HRH status and title of ‘prince’.

After the Daily Mail published photos of Beatrice and Eugenie, who are rarely seen together, some fans began to speculate whether their interactions were planned.

overwrite reddit, one person said: ‘They 100 per cent came here after calling their dad to take pictures of them cuddling.’

Another added: ‘They did the job right: no make-up, ‘intense conversation’ observed in public, more casual clothes worn in public. The public reaction will mostly be one of sympathy and pity for these two women, which helps them distance themselves from their father.

‘But I don’t blame them for doing this. They are adults with families of their own. They need to make sure they enjoy the good will of polite society and are “good” as Andrew’s (rightly) life continues to be absolutely ruined.’

A third said: ‘PR ploy to gain public sympathy…This was staged..’

Another suggested they ‘clearly set up this photoshoot with bow ties’; Splash News, the owner of the photos, denied this in a statement to the Daily Mail.

Royal sources said Beatrice and Eugenie will retain both their HRH titles and membership in the ‘House of York’ because the King is determined to ensure his nieces are not tainted by the ‘sins of their fathers’.

The former Duke of York was removed from the royal family last month amid growing scrutiny over Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson’s relationship with Epstein as a result of Virginia Giuffre’s tell-all memoir.

It looks like Andrew’s troubles are far from over.

On Wednesday night, it was revealed that Epstein, who died by suicide while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, confirmed that the infamous photo of Andrew and young Virginia was real.

“We’re in this together,” Beatrice told her younger sister, according to lip reader Nicola Hickling.

Allies of the former royal family have claimed several times that the picture is fake.

But messages from explosive 2011 email caches released earlier this week showed Mr Epstein urging a journalist to investigate Ms Giuffre – who died by suicide this year – and admitting: ‘Yes, she was on my plane, and yes, she had her photo taken with Andrew, as did many of my staff.’

The photo was revealed by The Mail on Sunday the same year as Ms Giuffre claimed she had slept with Andrew during his stay in London.

The former prince vehemently denied any wrongdoing. But in 2022, after Ms. Guiffre filed a civil lawsuit against Andrew, he paid her millions as a settlement.

Ms. Giuffre said Epstein took the photo with a disposable camera before the group went to dinner and then a nightclub with socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.

So his announcement will be a devastating blow to the embattled Andrew, who has been trying for years to cast doubt on the authenticity of the photo showing him holding Ms. Giuffre, known as Virginia Roberts, who was 17 at the time.

This came after Andrew was ordered to appear before Congress to explain his connections to Epstein.

Princess Beatrice was recently photographed accepting her role as deputy patron of The Outward Bound Trust with her uncle Prince Edward at a reception and dinner at St James’s Palace.

Beatrice is a co-founder of the Big Change Charitable Trust, which was established to support children with skills outside the traditional national curriculum, and is also an advisor to artificial intelligence software company Afiniti.

Beatrice had been a trustee of the Outward Bound Trust since 2019 – the same year the charity accepted Andrew’s resignation as patron following his disastrous Newsnight interview with Emily Maitlis, who had supported the then Duke for decades.

Andrew took over this role from his father, Prince Philip, who was a patron for 65 years; many believed it was the charity closest to his heart.

Eugenie and husband Jack were spotted in West London this week

As Beatrice steps up her philanthropic efforts, Eugenie, 12th in line to the throne, made her first public appearance on November 6 when she went for a walk in Notting Hill with husband Jack Booksbank.

Meanwhile, another source said that Fergie is now considering leaving the country.

They said: ‘He’s always lived on his feet and there’s not much to keep him here except his children and grandchildren.

‘Let’s put it this way, the invitations dried up overnight.’

Following the scandal, Sarah said she would leave the Royal Lodge and find her own place; Andrew will begin his new term as a commoner living at Sandringham Manor in Norfolk.
