Princess Beatrice was recently seen in public for the first time since her father Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrest. The 35-year-old, accompanied by her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and friends, was spotted strolling in London. This appearance followed a dramatic police raid at Andrew’s residence on his birthday the previous week.
Beatrice, dressed in a long blue overcoat and scarf, was seen carrying a blue coffee cup while wearing black tights and slip-on heels. Edoardo, clad in a sharp blue suit and holding an umbrella, walked a few steps behind her. Reports from Hello! magazine mentioned that Beatrice engaged in a conversation with Carrie Scott, the curator, while Edoardo spoke with Scott’s partner, Nick Lazarus.
Meanwhile, Beatrice’s younger sister, Princess Eugenie, was also seen out in London this week after a visit to Joe & The Juice. Earlier, she was spotted having coffee with her husband, Jack Brooksbank, in Notting Hill. Eugenie had been on a half-term trip to Gstaad with Jack and their children when the police visited Andrew’s home.
Eugenie, 37, has paused publicity for her charity, The Anti-Slavery Collective, in light of the Epstein Files. Royal expert Jennie Bond expressed that Eugenie faces a complex situation given her strong stance against slavery juxtaposed with her father’s association with individuals linked to sex trafficking.
Sarah Ferguson, Eugenie, and Beatrice’s mother, has opted to stay out of the public eye after leaked email exchanges with Jeffrey Epstein surfaced. Recent reports suggest she was seen at a wellness retreat in Donegal, Ireland.
Following his arrest, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been restricted from horse riding on the Sandringham estate due to concerns from royal aides about the optics. Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office related to allegations of sharing sensitive information with Jeffrey Epstein during his time as a trade envoy. Andrew has denied any wrongdoing.
