Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are reportedly at odds over their father Prince Andrew's future, with tensions also rising between the York sisters and Prince William. Sources close to the family say the once-close bond between the sisters has fractured amid the fallout from the Epstein scandal.
Prince Andrew has been stripped of his royal titles by King Charles and ordered to vacate Royal Lodge. He has been offered Marsh Farm, a 'ramshackle' property on the Sandringham Estate, which is at risk of flooding. Andrew is said to be 'resigned' to his new home but has been measuring up for curtains and overseeing improvements.
Sarah Ferguson, Andrew's ex-wife, has also lost her title after emails revealed she stayed in touch with Jeffrey Epstein longer than previously admitted. She is said to be in a 'fragile' state, crying several times a day, and is looking for a new home in the Windsor area. Her daughters have offered her places to stay, but tensions remain.
The sisters are reportedly divided over how to handle their father's situation, with Princess Beatrice said to be more supportive of Andrew while Princess Eugenie is closer to her mother. The rift has caused strain in their relationships with Prince William, who is said to be frustrated with Andrew's continued presence in the royal family.
