Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie Find Themselves in “Ghastly Position,” According to Royal Expert

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie both look serious while wearing black outfits.

Faced with their parents' very public mistakes, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice are now in a “ghastly position,” according royal expert Emily Andrews. Writing for Woman and Home, Andrews posed the question, “what would it take to cut off your mum?” For Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, the decision must be incredibly complex.

“Would it be cruel words? Hatred of your partner? Or how about being effectively loaned out to a convicted pedophile to bring some sort of veneer of respectability?” Andrews posited, before questioning how the York princesses will move forward after facing “the emotional toll of their parents’ mistakes.” Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have made a huge step-back from public life as more of their parents’ wrongdoings have been revealed over time. According to Emily Andrews, “both princesses are walking a fine line between distancing themselves from their parents in public but supporting them in private.”
