Princess Eugenie and Beatrice have reportedly ‘hurt’ their parents Andrew and Sarah Ferguson with their major decision on Christmas, and a royal expert has dubbed their move a ‘bitter blow’ for the former Duke of York.
Speaking to the Mirror, royal expert Jennie Bond has reacted on Eugenie and Beatrice move.
Jennie said, “Only they know what is truly going on, but let’s look at the evidence. It’s extremely telling that both Eugenie and Beatrice chose to spend Christmas with the rest of the royal family at Sandringham rather than support their parents in their isolation.
“That must have been very hurtful for Andrew and Sarah: their daughters were showing the world exactly where their loyalties lie.”
She went on saying through ‘thick and thin, through lurid headlines, sickening allegations and embarrassing revelations’, the York family – as they were – have stuck together.
Andrew and Sarah were the “bestest friends“ and their daughters were ‘staunchly loyal’ to them, Jennie says and adds “But now, it seems, everything has changed.”
Andrew and Sarah, the happiest divorced couple in the world, are apparently going their separate ways – and at least one of their daughters is questioning whether she can maintain a relationship with her “disgraced father.”
The royal expert added for Andrew, an estrangement from either of his daughters will be a “bitter blow”.
Andrew’s family was ‘pretty much’ all he had left after all that has happened, Jennie said.
“Now he’s looking more isolated than ever. Family rifts are incredibly complex and hurtful, but sometimes time can heal them. For now, though, it seems that Eugenie is set on keeping her distance from her father and living her own life.”
