The sisters rally behind their mother as the family faces a new wave of royal fallout
Beatrice and Eugenie are standing by their mother, Sarah Ferguson, as their family faces yet another round of turmoil. The sisters have been left shaken by their father Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s deepening disgrace, which has cost him nearly all of his royal status.
In recent weeks, King Charles reportedly stripped Andrew of his remaining symbols of royal privilege and began formal steps to remove him from Royal Lodge. According to sources cited by Rob Shuter’s ShuterScoop, Beatrice and Eugenie were blindsided by the decision and have been struggling to process the fallout.
Despite the difficult circumstances, The Sun reports that the sisters are determined to focus on something positive — helping their mother rebuild her public image. Sarah Ferguson, who still enjoys some goodwill among the public, is said to be exploring new branding and commercial opportunities. She hopes to position herself as a “leader in female positivity” while continuing her work as a mother and philanthropist.
An insider described Fergie as a “hard worker who always finds a way through tough times,” noting her persistence and resourcefulness even in the face of financial challenges. “She has expensive tastes and big expenses, but she always finds a way to make ends meet,” the source added.
Still, not everyone is convinced by her latest plans. Mail Online columnist Amanda Platell described Ferguson’s reinvention attempt as a “laugh till you cry moment,” criticising her for showing “no remorse or self-awareness” about her public image.
Meanwhile, speculation continues over the future of Beatrice and Eugenie’s royal titles. Although the King has not announced any changes, royal watchers have questioned whether the sisters should voluntarily step away from their “princess” titles.
Commentator Angella Mollard suggested that relinquishing their titles could be seen as a gesture of “integrity and public accountability,” especially at a time when the family’s reputation is under intense scrutiny.
For now, Beatrice and Eugenie remain focused on standing by their mother — a show of unity in a family facing yet another public storm.
