Princess Beatrice and Eugenie put on a brave and very sisterly display in London this week, wrapping each other in a heartfelt hug as the royal family weathered yet another storm.
The duo, dressed down but visibly emotional, were spotted deep in conversation on a Mayfair street before sharing an embrace that spoke louder than words.
It was the first public sighting of the York sisters since their father, Andrew was officially stripped of his titles and ordered to appear before Congress.
On the same day their father’s royal standing officially vanished via a rare Letters Patent from King Charles, the sisters appeared to find solace in each other’s company.
Witnesses said the pair chatted intensely before Beatrice leaned in for a long hug, as if to say what words could not.
After mounting public outrage over his rent free stay, the disgraced duke has agreed to pack up and move to a smaller, privately funded home on the Sandringham estate.
Sources told The Sun, King’s patience finally ran out after weeks of tense discussions and a few too many demands from Andrew, who reportedly wanted two homes for himself and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, in exchange for moving out.
Royal insiders describe the King’s decision as “firm but fair,” with Prince William quietly backing his father’s call.
“The King has acted decisively,” one palace insider said. “This is about restoring integrity to the institution. Enough was enough.”
Andrew isn’t legally required to show up he’s outside U.S. jurisdiction but should he set foot in America, he could find himself under congressional spotlight faster than you can say “royal scandal.”
One Westminster insider quipped, “Andrew’s been stripped of his titles but not, it seems, his talent for poor judgment.”
