Need to Know: Royal Scandal Deepens as Beatrice and Eugenie Caught in Epstein Fallout
- Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie face mounting scrutiny over their links to Jeffrey Epstein as royal insiders warn their troubles are set to worsen.
- The York sisters previously escaped the fallout from their father Prince Andrew’s association with the convicted sex offender. However, a royal insider has warned: “The York sisters stuff is going to get a lot worse.”
- Both princesses visited Epstein in Miami with their mother Sarah Ferguson after his prison release. Eugenie was 19 and Beatrice was 21 at the time, with author Andrew Lownie noting: “They weren’t five-year-old girls when they were taken to see Epstein. They were grown ups.”
- The sisters allegedly entertained Epstein’s contacts and conducted Buckingham Palace tours, though there’s no evidence of wrongdoing. Eugenie’s name appears over 300 times in recent Epstein inquiry documents.
- Royal Editor Hannah Furness revealed palace sources suggest the sisters are “up to their necks” in the scandal. The mood has shifted dramatically from last year when it was “business as usual” for the princesses.
- Both sisters now face exclusion from major royal events including Royal Ascot’s carriage procession and Trooping the Colour. A palace source explained: “They can’t be seen in the royal carriage procession with all this going on.”
