Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are reportedly preparing to speak out by following in their cousin Prince Harry’s footsteps.
Amid the ongoing scandal surrounding their parents, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, over their connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a source claimed the sisters could write a memoir to share their side of the story.
The insider told Closer Magazine that both Beatrice and Eugenie may now come forward to protect themselves and their children and to clarify facts about past events and their parents’ actions.
The report claimed they will opt for a carefully written memoir over a sit down interview to regain control of the narrative.
“There’s a growing feeling that staying quiet is no longer an option, that there’s an obligation for them to tell their side to the right people,” the source said.
They added, “The public would no doubt applaud them if they were able to clarify certain timelines and facts. But speaking to the authorities is one thing; there’s also pressure to clear their names with the public.
“Doing a sit-down interview is not their style but a tasteful and measured memoir with the facts and a lot of emotion is an option that’s being put forth.”
The tipster shared that both Beatrice and Eugenie love their parents despite their scandal and want to protect them.
“But more than that, they want to protect their own children,” the insider added of Beatrice, mother to daughters Sienna and Athena with husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, and Eugenie, mother to sons August and Ernest with Jack Brooksbank.
“There’s a sense that if they don’t take control of the narrative now, they may never get the chance.”
“If they [the public] were to fully grasp how horrific this has been for both Eugenie and Beatrice, they’d likely earn a lot of sympathy too, which could go a long way into helping them come back from this.”
