King Charles was reportedly 'jarred' by a move Princess Eugenie made just weeks after he openly congratulated her on her third pregnancy. After Eugenie shared news of her pregnancy on May 4, with her third child due this summer, the King released a statement saying he was 'delighted' for his niece and her young family.
The King's decision to publicly share his congratulations appeared to show the love and affection that he still has for his nieces amid the chaos of the Epstein scandal. However, it has now been revealed that the King felt 'jarred' after Eugenie stepped out at an event in the UAE so soon after the announcement, due to the connections to her disgraced father, Andrew.
The Daily Mail has reported: '...Barely three weeks later, Eugenie, I am told, promptly blotted her copybook, when she attended a promotional event in London for Discovery Dunes, an ultra-luxury Dubai-based golfing and real-estate development, exactly the kind of project that her father, whose love of golf, money and the UAE apparently had no bounds, would have once become involved with.'
Her husband, Jack Brooksbank, is involved in the project but, as the Daily Mail's royal source put it to me: 'Seeing Eugenie following in her father's footsteps, and in a high-profile way so soon after the King publicly put a metaphorical arm around her shoulder by organising a Palace announcement of her pregnancy, has jarred.'
