The rift deepened after Beatrice, 37, and Eugenie, 35, opted against public displays of support for their father, who has been effectively exiled from the royal inner circle since his fall from grace. Insiders suggest that while the sisters maintain private contact, their refusal to publicly back him—or their mother, Sarah Ferguson—has left Andrew feeling betrayed. He reportedly views their attempts to remain in the good graces of King Charles and Prince William as an act of disloyalty, blaming Ferguson for allegedly poisoning them against him.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor threatens daughters amid royal isolation
After months of social distancing from his own family, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is reportedly lashing out at Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. The former prince feels abandoned by his daughters following their public silence on Father’s Day, leading to threats that he may cease his efforts to secure their future within the monarchy.
Despite the friction, the reality of the sisters' position remains precarious. Recent audits revealed that King Charles continues to cover accommodation costs for their residences at St James’ and Kensington Palace, despite neither holding working royal roles. Andrew has been lobbying for increased financial support for his family, even while his own standing remains toxic. Associates close to the royals argue that any public association with him would be professional suicide for his daughters, yet Andrew remains convinced he is the victim of a calculated internal campaign. He has warned that if his family continues to distance themselves to protect their own status, he may stop shielding them from the fallout of his own controversies.
