York sisters said to be distressed and angry as family fallout deepens
Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice are reportedly preparing for urgent discussions with King Charles after the arrest of their father, Prince Andrew, according to royal insiders.
A report in the Daily Mail says the sisters plan to hold “crisis talks” this weekend, first privately between themselves and then likely with their uncle, King Charles III, who is described as fiercely protective of them.
Sources close to the family claim the situation goes beyond public embarrassment. The sisters are said to be worried about potential financial consequences, damage to their social standing, and what remains of trust in their relationship with their father. One insider described them as “very distressed” and “utterly horrified” by the latest developments.
Their reaction reportedly intensified after Andrew was detained on his birthday on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Royal commentator Ingrid Seward said the sisters are likely feeling “incredibly angry” with their father and possibly frustrated with their mother as well, noting that repeated references to Sarah Ferguson in the Epstein files have only added to their sense of disbelief. “They’ll be asking how both their parents could be so stupid,” she claimed.
Following his brother’s arrest, King Charles released a statement acknowledging the seriousness of the situation and stressing that due process must be followed. He said the matter would be investigated fully and fairly by the appropriate authorities, adding that they would receive full cooperation.
For Eugenie and Beatrice, the coming days are expected to be about damage control, family loyalty, and difficult conversations with a monarch trying to steady the Crown while protecting his nieces.
