Princesses Beatrice<\/a> and Eugenie<\/a> are determined to build on the olive branch bestowed upon them by the royal family, National Examiner has learned, whilst distancing themselves from their scandal-plagued parents, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor<\/a> and Sarah \u201cFergie\u201d Ferguson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The sisters both received invitations to Princess Kate<\/a>\u2018s Christmas carol concert at London\u2019s Westminster Abbey on December 5 and King Charles III<\/a>\u2018s annual pre-Christmas luncheon at Buckingham Palace on December 16.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeatrice and Eugenie rely heavily on their royal status and their ties to the king,\u201d reveals an insider. \u201c[But] the fact is, they\u2019re not immune from the backlash swirling around them.\u201d<\/p>\n

In early December, royal historian Andrew Lownie told NewsNation<\/a> that Fergie, 66, and Andrew\u2019s daughters have earned \u201clarge sums of money\u201d in the Middle East. \u201cWe\u2019ve seen Beatrice promoting a Saudi bank recently,\u201d he noted. \u201cWe just don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on. I mean, again, one of the ways that they\u2019re paid is through jewelry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beatrice, 37, and Eugenie, 35, were also named in a 2022 High Court case involving Turkish millionaire Nebahat Evyap Isbilen, who claimed that she paid Andrew, 65, a sum of \u00a3750,000 in 2019 for help obtaining a passport, only for his office to tell her that the payment was a wedding gift for his eldest daughter.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome critics are already judging Beatrice and Eugenie as apples that haven\u2019t fallen very far from the tree and that makes them deeply uneasy,\u201d admits the insider. \u201cThey know all it would take is one exposed misstep for them to be pushed out of the royal fold right alongside their parents. Their position is precarious, at best.\u201d<\/p>\n

Which is why neither of them can afford to step on any royal toes right now.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeatrice and Eugenie have agreed that any relationship with their father has to happen privately because being publicly associated with him would be disastrous,\u201d the insider explains. \u201cThe strategy now is absolute caution. They don\u2019t want any questions about their loyalty to the crown and unfortunately for Andrew, and for Sarah, that means accepting a painful distance.\u201d<\/p>\n
