Beatrice and Eugenie’s ‘true feelings’ over Andrew and Fergie – ‘bursting into tears’ | Royal | News
Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie may face further public negativity as they continue to be affected by the scandal surrounding their parents, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson. The princesses have kept a low profile since news of Andrew’s arrest broke late last month, following the release by the US Department of Justice of derogatory correspondence between both their parents and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. An insider said Beatrice and Eugenie were “extremely tense and emotional, like their mothers” Daily Mailand things could still “get much worse” for the sisters, including being ostracized by their royal relatives.
While Andrew has denied any wrongdoing in his relationship with Epstein, and it was previously understood that Beatrice and Eugenie’s royal position would not be affected by their parents’ arguments, the princesses appear to be stepping back from public life, whether on their own terms or someone else’s. Eugenie resigned from her seven-year post as patron of the International Anti-Slavery charity this month, and both she and Beatrice were noticeably absent from the Cheltenham Festival this week amid reports they were not planning to attend the Chelsea Flower Show, Wimbledon Championships or Royal Ascot.
A source told the Mail: “Both girls, like their mother, are extremely tense and emotional. Beatrice is trying to come to terms with the situation realistically, but she can’t stop regularly bursting into tears, not for her father but for the collapse of her entire world and especially her family.” [royal] The cold shoulder of the family.
“His royal status is more important to him than Eugenie.”
They added that growing calls for a public scrutiny of the York family’s fortune could put pressure on King Charles to launch a “block deportation” and strip the princesses of their HRH titles, as he did with Andrew and Sarah in the autumn.
Royal biographer Ingrid Seward also said the sisters were left in a “no-win” position. There is no suggestion that they were involved in any wrongdoing by Epstein.
“To speak openly [about the scandal] It could make things worse for them,” he said. “I doubt they are now being advised to keep a low profile and get out of the way.
“The King was always very fond of his nephews, but it doesn’t look good for the monarchy to publicly support them right now.”
