In a shocking turn of events, Princess Eugenie, the daughter of Prince Andrew, has reportedly severed all contact with her father amidst the ongoing fallout from his association with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
According to a source close to the royal family, the 35-year-old princess has “completely cut him off” and is no longer speaking to her father, who has refused to apologize to Epstein’s victims. The source described the situation as being on “Brooklyn Beckham level,” alluding to the estrangement between the Beckham family members.
In contrast, Eugenie’s sister, Princess Beatrice, is said to be “trying to walk the fine line of not cutting her father off and yet remaining close with the Royal Family.” Beatrice recently had her father attend the christening of her daughter, a gesture that Eugenie has seemingly refused to make.
The reported familial split comes as Prince Andrew faces continued scrutiny and public fury over his links to Epstein, a convicted sex offender. The former Duke of York, who has denied the allegations, is now preparing to move out of the Royal Lodge, where he has resided for the past 22 years.
Last week, a white van was spotted at the Royal Lodge, signaling the start of Andrew’s move to a temporary property on the King’s Sandringham estate in Norfolk. This relocation is expected to take place in the coming weeks, as the ex-prince is set to undergo renovations on his anticipated new home, Marsh Farm, before the Easter holiday.
The decision to cut ties with her father appears to be driven by Eugenie’s disappointment in his lack of remorse and unwillingness to take responsibility for his actions. The source close to the royals stated that Eugenie “isn’t trying to walk that line” and is simply “not speaking to him.”
As the Epstein scandal continues to reverberate through the royal family, the rift between Princess Eugenie and Prince Andrew serves as a stark reminder of the far-reaching consequences of the disgraced prince’s controversial association with the convicted sex offender.
