In a move that has sent shockwaves through the royal circles, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice are said to be distancing themselves from their father, Prince Andrew, following a series of damning revelations about his past associations.
The Duke of York has long been a controversial figure, but recent disclosures have reportedly pushed his daughters to reassess their public ties with him. Sources close to the family suggest the princesses are keen to protect their own reputations amid the ongoing fallout.
A Royal Rift
Insiders reveal that Eugenie and Beatrice have been quietly reducing their public appearances with Prince Andrew, particularly at high-profile events. The sisters, who have previously stood by their father during his legal battles, now appear to be charting a more independent course.
"They love their father, but they also understand the need to safeguard their own futures within the monarchy," a palace insider claimed.
The Epstein Fallout
The latest scandal stems from Prince Andrew's ties to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Despite stepping back from royal duties in 2019, the Duke's name continues to surface in connection with the case, causing embarrassment for the Firm.
"The Epstein saga has been a nightmare for the royals, and the younger generation is keen to move on," a royal commentator noted.
What Next for the York Sisters?
Both Eugenie and Beatrice have been carving out their own paths in recent years, focusing on charitable work and private careers. While they remain supportive of their father behind closed doors, their public stance appears to be shifting.
As the monarchy continues to modernise, the sisters' delicate balancing act between family loyalty and royal duty will be one to watch in the coming months.
