Sarah Ferguson would be upset as she is keeping away from daughter Princess Eugenie.

The former Duchess of your, who is currently in Austria, has been distanced by both her daughters or a scandalous association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

As Princess Eugenie is said to welcome her third baby with husband Jack Brooksbank this summer, it is reported that Fergie is feeling left out and alone.

Royal expert Jennie Bond told the Mirror: “Well, who wouldn’t want to be involved in the birth and first few days in the life of a new grandchild? It’s only natural that Fergie, and Andrew too, would want to meet the new arrival and give any support they can to Eugenie.

“Will it happen? Who knows! It’s thought that Eugenie has distanced herself from her disgraced father, and possibly from her mother as well. But the truth is, we don’t know what, if any, conversations or meetings they have had in recent times.”

“We do know that Fergie has been a doting grandmother in the past to her four little grandchildren, and I’m sure she would be heartbroken if she were excluded from this wonderful new episode in Eugenie and Jack’s life,” Jennie explained.

“But it’s going to be up to her daughter, who lives much of her life in Portugal these days. I think the couple will issue a photo of the new arrival in the fullness of time, but I certainly don’t expect to see either Andrew or Sarah included in that photo.

“The Epstein scandal has clouded all of their lives in one way or another. I think whatever relationship Eugenie now has with her parents, it will remain private and extremely discreet. And that’s probably for the best all round.”
