A source told Us Weekly that the daughters of Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, have been forced to reconsider several public and personal plans as the situation continues to unfold.

“Eugenie and Beatrice have had to change their upcoming public-facing plans and future plans this year,” the insider said.

Although the sisters are said to be less concerned about the possibility of their father facing prison, they remain troubled by the circumstances.

“They aren’t as worried about Andrew being arrested and going to jail, but they are still horrified that he’s involved in this and worry there could be more to come.”

Titles stripped and arrest intensify the fallout

The situation escalated dramatically after Andrew lost his royal titles, including Prince and Duke of York, in October 2025. The controversy intensified further when he was arrested on his 66th birthday, February 19, following the release of documents linked to the late Jeffrey Epstein.

Andrew has since faced accusations of alleged misconduct in public office.

In addition, he was ordered to leave Royal Lodge, the Windsor residence where he had lived for years. He vacated the property last month.

According to sources, the entire ordeal has been extremely difficult for his daughters.

The fallout has been described as “devastating,” with one insider noting that “in London it’s all people are talking about.”

Scaling back public appearances

In response to the ongoing attention surrounding the scandal, Beatrice and Eugenie are reportedly planning to step away from public engagements for the time being.

A second source told the outlet that the sisters will reduce their appearances “in the near future.”

“They are not actually planning on doing any public events in the near future because of everything surrounding their parents because they know that will be the focus,” the insider explained.

Rumors had circulated that the pair had been barred from attending Royal Ascot this year because of the controversy. However, the same source dismissed those claims.

“They were not going to be there anyway,” the insider said. “They were not planning on attending.”

Family support remains strong

Despite speculation about their standing within the royal circle, sources insist that Beatrice and Eugenie have not been pushed aside by the Royal Family.

“They have been through enough,” one insider said. “They are not being blamed. There is a lot of compassion. They are not pariahs. They are cared for and loved under the circumstances which are incredibly painful.”

The source added that the shift in sentiment has been directed toward their parents rather than the sisters themselves.

“The only feelings that have changed are toward Andrew and Fergie. They don’t hold Beatrice and Eugenie accountable. They are victims. … They have had strong royal connections and are still getting support from them.”

According to the insider, members of the family, including Prince William and Kate Middleton, are still believed to maintain a close relationship with the two princesses.

Keeping distance from the scandal

Meanwhile, another report from Page Six suggested that their mother, Sarah Ferguson, has been staying with friends, including Priscilla Presley, during the ongoing controversy.

Sources believe maintaining some distance may be important for protecting the sisters’ standing within the monarchy.

“Now that Andrew has lost his royal title, the girls are the only members of the family who are real royals,” an insider said. “It’s more important than ever for them to be kept as far away from the scandal as possible.”

Representatives for Beatrice and Eugenie, as well as their parents and the Prince and Princess of Wales, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
