Princess Beatrice ‘left when she needed a shoulder to cry on’

The disgrace that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been weathering since his late accuser Virginia Giuffre first came out against him has only snowballed into legal woes, as well as a public death that seen him lose his titles and honors.

However, even his daughters were not spared once it was revealed that they seemingly rejected Prince William’s request for an audit into their finances.

Since then the media focused their attention on Princess Beatrice and Eugenie’s marriage, especially the formers because her husband has been in a different city, on the other side of the pond and “that really hit the sisters hard”.

Especially at this point in time, “she needed a shoulder to cry on,” the source told The Daily Mail. “But he wasn’t there for her and that really upset her but they are desperate to make a good go of things. They know how things appear, but they want to really try.”

At the end of the day, her motivation to ensure her marriage survives is paramount at this point so to say Beatrice wasn’t ‘amused’ would be an understatement. However, as the source put it before concluding, “if moving abroad means keeping their marriage together then so be it and Edo has told her his company is roaring along.”

What’s also pertinent to mention is the bond the sisters share with the Duke of Sussex because the outlet claims he’s been offering them advice, and has even offered to let them stay in California while they search.
