The King has also kicked out his disgraced brother from the Royal Lodge.<\/p>\n<p>She also attended the Christmas celebrations with the royal family, with many experts suggesting that the sisters still have ties to their shamed parents, Andrew and Sarah Ferguson. However, royal editor Charlotte Griffiths has revealed that Eugenie no longer holds contact with her father.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew is \u201cdevastated\u201d as \u201cthere is no contact at all, nothing\u201d between him and Eugenie, per the Mail on Sunday. Eugenie, who established The Anti-Slavery Collective to help counter sex trafficking, disapproves of her father\u2019s actions, especially the connection to paedophile financier Jeffery Epstein.<\/p>\n<p>The source described the rift between the father and daughter like that of the Beckhams.

Andrew\u2019s heartbreak also comes as he is just one week away from leaving his 30-room Windsor home. He had an \u201ciron-clad\u201d 75-year lease on the property, reportedly saving it for his daughters\u2019 inheritance. But he had to give it up on King Charles\u2019s orders.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the royals still hold a soft corner for the York sisters and don\u2019t blame them for their parents\u2019 actions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Princess Eugenie breaks father Andrew\u2019s heart with difficult decision Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor suffered a shocking blow from his younger&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":239693,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,156,111,139,69],"class_list":{"0":"post-239692","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-new-zealand","11":"tag-newzealand","12":"tag-nz"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239692","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=239692"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239692\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/239693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=239692"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=239692"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=239692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
