Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie were reportedly taken by surprise when they were informed that they would not be attending Royal Ascot this year. The decision is said to be connected to the controversies surrounding their parents, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, in relation to their association with Jeffrey Epstein. Despite maintaining their princess titles, the sisters are allegedly being gradually excluded from public royal events.
According to sources, the sisters were informed that they won’t be in the Royal Box at the prestigious races in June. The fallout from Prince Andrew’s recent arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office seems to have played a role in this decision. Additionally, there are indications that the royal family has imposed restrictions on taking pictures with the princesses for the rest of the year.
Princess Eugenie was recently seen in London with her husband, Jack Brooksbank, marking her first public appearance since her father’s arrest. It is reported that she has refrained from public activities related to her charity, The Anti-Slavery Collective, following the Epstein scandal. Princess Beatrice was also spotted in London with her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, and friends, signaling her return to public life after a period of low profile.
The sisters’ absence from upcoming royal events, including Royal Ascot, reflects a shift in their public presence following the controversies surrounding their family members.
