In the past few days, more damning photos and emails have come out regarding Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson’s association with Jeffrey Epstein.The continued fallout comes four months after Andrew’s royal titles and privileges were stripped by his brother King Charles in October.His daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are taking two “different positions” when it comes to supporting their father, a royal commentator said.

Somehow, four months after Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was stripped of all of his royal titles and privileges in October—the same month that both he and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson surrendered their Duke and Duchess of York titles—damning information about the former Prince Andrew still continues to emerge, with no real end in sight. The photos of Andrew, the emails between Sarah and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein—as the former couple depart their shared home at Royal Lodge and go on to separate lives, the news somehow continues to get worse about their behavior.

Last month, their elder daughter Princess Beatrice made a show of support for her father by taking her 4-year-old daughter Sienna riding with Andrew at Windsor Castle; she also invited both of her parents to her younger daughter Athena’s christening back in December. But Beatrice’s younger sister Princess Eugenie is, according to reports, taking a more distanced approach from Andrew amid the firestorm of scandal surrounding him.

Tatler reported that Eugenie “is said to have cut contact with her father,” and former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told The Mirror, “It would seem that the two daughters are taking different positions on supporting their father.”

“Beatrice must have known she would very probably be seen out riding with him, so we can take this as an open show of loyalty,” Bond continued, adding, “It must be incredibly difficult to see your parents so humiliated, isolated, and depressed, and Beatrice, as the older daughter, probably feels a greater responsibility for their well-being.”

Per The Mail on Sunday, Eugenie’s distance from her father has reportedly “devastated” Andrew. It’s all made even more complicated by the fact that Eugenie is the founder of The Anti-Slavery Collective, an organization that works to end sex trafficking.

Andrew is moving to Marsh Farm on the Sandringham estate, and “he is resigned to the fact that it is his future,” a source said, per The Mirror. “He’s come to the conclusion that he has to get on with the rest of his life and accepts he has to make the best of it.”

As Bond told The Mirror, “By all accounts, he lives a rather solitary life at Windsor, and an even quieter life beckons at Sandringham.” Bond added of Marsh Farm that “It won’t be so easy for Beatrice to visit him there—she already has a busy life with her job and her children—so it’s understandable that she is taking the opportunity to see him while he’s still at Royal Lodge. They must feel very conflicted in their loyalties. Trying times for the family.”

A source speaking to The Daily Mail added of the sisters that “Beatrice is trying to walk the fine line of not cutting her father off and yet remaining close with the royal family. They aren’t exactly in regular and close contact at the moment, but Eugenie isn’t trying to walk that line. She’s not speaking to him.”

“Beatrice and Eugenie have to really make a tough decision here because they’re so identified with the York unit, and the York unit is toxic,” royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told The Telegraph. “But it might even go beyond decisions they’re able to personally make now. There’s an element where it’s out of their hands.”

He added that “what they’ve got to try to do is create a public image that differentiates them from their parents, [but] how they do it is far from clear.” Fitzwilliams said that to avoid being “subsumed in a tide of horror,” Beatrice and Eugenie will have to “try to distance themselves as much as possible.”

“It’s a difficult time for them,” he continued of the sisters. “It’s deeply distressing, and they must feel it desperately.”
