Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have finally given an insight into where they stand with the royal family as their parents’ scandals continue to cast a long shadow.
Despite Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson being distanced from official royal life due to their ties to Jeffrey Epstein, their daughters remain firmly in 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 Kensington Palace’s invitation card on her stories.
“Wish Bea and I could have celebrated tonight with our family,” she wrote. She did not speak about the reason for their absence, but it is likely that the sisters chose to stay away to avoid their parents’ controversy overshadowing the event.
Eugenie added a warm message to the Princess of Wales, writing: “Wishing @princessofwales such a special night at her incredible carol service. What a wonderful message of love and hope.”
It’s the first time the York sisters have shared a direct public message to a high-ranking royal since their father — and by extension, their mother — lost all his titles, including prince and duke of York, among others.
