In the wake of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, Princess Eugenie has reportedly gone “no contact” with her father, Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. According to insider sources, the 35-year-old royal has completely cut off communication with the former prince and did not visit him with her own family over the Christmas holidays.

“There is no contact at all, nothing. It’s Brooklyn Beckham level – she has completely cut him off,” a source told the Mail on Sunday. The insider revealed that while Eugenie’s sister, Princess Beatrice, is trying to maintain a delicate balance in her relationship with their father, Eugenie has made no such effort. “She’s not speaking to him,” the source said.

The disgraced former Duke of York was stripped of his royal titles back in October and has been forced to give up the lease on his 30-room Royal Lodge mansion. It is understood that Andrew’s belongings, including valuable artwork, are now being stored in a South London warehouse under 24-hour guard.

Recent reports suggest that removal vans have been spotted at Royal Lodge, and Andrew is believed to be moving to a property on the Sandringham Estate called Marsh Farm. Both he and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, who has lived with him at Royal Lodge since 2008, will have to vacate the property by the end of the month.

While Buckingham Palace has not officially confirmed the move, it is believed that Andrew will be staying in temporary lodgings before settling into the Norfolk estate around Easter time. A large fence has been erected around the Marsh Farm property to provide the potential new resident with more privacy and security.

The strained relationship between Eugenie and her father comes as the Epstein files, containing a vast majority of documents related to the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and his then-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, were recently released by the US Department of Justice. Andrew has vehemently denied any wrongdoing and has stated that his appearance in the files does not equate to criminal involvement.

Representatives for both Princess Eugenie and Prince Andrew have been contacted for comment, but no response has been provided as of yet.
