Now, royal expert Andrew Lownie has spoken out about Eugenie and Beatrice ties with their parents.

He tells Woman’s Day that Eugenie has “never been as close” to her parents as her sister Beatrice is.

The royal expert said, “She’s more of her own person. Beatrice is very much under the sort of thrall of Sarah Ferguson, and she’s the older, more responsible one in the middle.”

About Eugenie, who is expecting her third baby due this summer, Lownie shares she “does her own thing”.

Princess Eugenie, the expert claimed, is ‘pretty appalled’ by the allegations against her father Andrew.

He said, “I know her husband’s family are pretty appalled, I mean they come from quite a respectable family, and they kind of feel their son married beneath them with the Yorks.

“I think she wants to go off and do her own thing.”

Moreover, Lownie goes as far as to call the relationship between Eugenie and her father as “very fractured.”

“I don’t know how much contact there is between Fergie and Andrew. I mean, clearly she passed on the news about the baby, but that’s about it,” the author says.
