Sarah Ferguson has been warned she has 'no choice' but to retreat from public involvement in her daughters' lives after Princess Eugenie announced in London on Monday that she is expecting her third child with husband Jack Brooksbank this summer, according to a royal commentator. The pregnancy news, confirmed by Buckingham Palace and said to have 'delighted' King Charles, has reignited scrutiny of the York family's position following the scandals surrounding Prince Andrew and, by extension, Ferguson.
The latest royal baby news comes at a complicated moment for the former Duke and Duchess of York. Eugenie and her elder sister Princess Beatrice have long tried to maintain a working balance between royal duty and private careers, even as their parents' entanglement in the Jeffrey Epstein affair has repeatedly dragged them back into the spotlight. Andrew's removal from public roles and the ongoing fallout from his association with Epstein have narrowed the space in which Ferguson, once a highly visible royal figure, can operate alongside her daughters.
