Speaking to Hello!, a friend of Beatrice's said: "Bea has found the scrutiny very hard, especially the strain of the past few weeks. Bea is keeping calm and carrying on. She learnt a lot from her grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.”

This comes as Beatrice and her younger sister, Princess Eugenie, have decided to skip Royal Easter service.

"This is a family in turmoil, but Bea is working hard; the juggle of full-time work and being a parent is her main priority, in order to keep herself mentally strong and her life moving,” said the expert.

The York sisters have reportedly made “alternative plans” for Easter Sunday as they step back from joining King Charles at the Windsor Castle service.

However, Palaces source reveals the sisters will attend future events with the Royal Family.

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have been drifting apart from their mother, Sarah Ferguson, as the trio, who once knew as a tripod, seems to be collapsing.

Since the eyebrow-raising involvement of Fergie with Epstein came out, her daughters were deeply affected, the source claimed.

It has been said that Beatrice and Eugenie have been more disappointed in their mother than their father.
