Devastated Princess Eugenie has ‘cut off all contact’ with disgraced father Andrew Mountbatten Windsor over Epstein scandal

Princess Eugenie has cut off all contact with her disgraced father following the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, The Mail on Sunday has revealed.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who was stripped of his royal titles in October over his links to the pedophile financier, is said to be ‘devastated’ to be estranged from his young daughter last year following months of more damaging revelations about his relationship with Epstein.

Eugenie, 35, is understood to have refused to speak to Andrew and did not visit him over Christmas.

Eugenie, who founded the Anti-Slavery Collective to help combat sex trafficking, is said to have taken a dim view of her father’s refusal to apologize to Epstein’s victims.

A source told the MoS the rift between the Beckhams is this: ‘There’s no contact, there’s nothing. This is Brooklyn Beckham level; ‘He completely cut off ties with her.’

Meanwhile, sources say her older sister Princess Beatrice is taking a tactful approach, trying to stay in touch with her father and protect his reputation within the Royal Family.

Beatrice invited Andrew to the christening of her 11-month-old daughter Athena in London last month, but it may be significant that Andrew did not attend the party held at a local pub afterwards.

It’s unclear whether Eugenie spoke to her father at the celebration.

‘Beatrice is trying to walk the fine line between not interrupting her father and still remaining close to the Royal Family,’ the source said.

‘They’re not exactly in regular, close contact at the moment, but Eugenie isn’t trying to walk that line. ‘He’s not talking to her.’

The deterioration of relations between Andrew and Eugenie inflicts humiliation on the disgraced former prince, who is preparing to leave Royal Lodge, his home of Windsor Manor for two decades.

Last week, a moving truck was spotted on the property as it began the years-long process of going through items.

Andrew is expected to move into a temporary property at Sandringham Manor in Norfolk within the next few weeks until renovations are completed at his new Easter home, nearby Marsh Farm.

Andrew was said to have been encouraged to stay in London over Christmas to avoid being close to the Royal family, who are spending the festive season at Sandringham.

Beatrice and Eugenie faced a difficult decision about where to spend Christmas. They eventually attended the royal family’s Christmas Day church service in Norfolk and later joined their extended family at Sandringham.

They had been invited by King Charles, who was said to be determined to protect the princesses.

However, social media detectives who watched TV footage of the incident suggested that relations may be tense. Prince William allegedly tried to avoid eye contact with Eugenie during the traditional walk after the church service.

Some suggested she was ‘scarfing’ him; It’s a term coined by royal watchers to describe moments when the Prince adjusts his scarf when someone he wants to avoid appears.

Another source added: ‘Perhaps Christmas Day would be an opportunity for William to break tradition by walking in public with his cousins, or at least smiling towards them in ‘fab four’ style. For whatever reason this opportunity was missed.’

However, a source close to the royal family last night insisted that Prince William “spent time” with Eugenie and Beatrice over Christmas and that “there is no bad blood between them”.
