Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have finally offered insight into where they stand with the royal family as their parents’ scandals continue to cast a long shadow.
Although Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson are distanced from official royal life due to their links to Jeffrey Epstein, their daughters remain firmly within King Charles’ good books. The sisters were even invited to Princess Kate’s annual carol service at Westminster Abbey, although neither attended.
Instead, they sent their support from afar. While Beatrice isn’t on Instagram, Eugenie took the lead by reposting the Kensington Palace invitation card on her Stories.
“I wish Bea and I had been celebrating tonight with our family,” he wrote. He did not mention the reason for their absence, but it is likely that the sisters decided to stay away to prevent their parents’ controversy from overshadowing the event.
Eugenie added a warm message for the Princess of Wales, writing: “Wishing @princessofwales such a special evening at her incredible carol service. What an incredible message of love and hope.”
It is the first time the York sisters have shared a direct public message to a royal since their father, and by extension their mother, lost all of their titles, including Prince and Duke of York, among others.
