Try as they might, Princess Eugenie and Beatrice can’t outrun the headlines about their parents, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, in recent weeks. Wherever the disgraced former Prince and Duchess are mentioned, their daughters are soon brought into the conversation, especially as they have retained their titles.
It’s believed that King Charles’s "high affection" for his nieces led him to try and protect them from their parents’ fate. However, whilst they are not directly involved in the accusations being levelled against Andrew and Fergie regarding their association with Jeffrey Epstein, associating with them is a delicate issue for their wider family.
