A royal expert has revealed how the York sisters would be “utterly mortified” in light of the new claims against their father, and why they haven’t defended his actions
As a wave of new allegations against Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson have come to light in an explosive new biography, their daughters have remained quiet throughout the scandal.
Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice have been keeping their heads down and have made no comments since the claims made in Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York by Andrew Lownie went public.
While the two women have continued their philanthropic work amid the media storm around their parents, one royal expert has claimed that the sisters would be having a “very difficult” time with the spotlight once again on their family. It comes as Brits call for ‘terrified’ Prince Andrew to pay the ultimate price for scandals.

In Lownie’s book, he makes wild claims about Andrew and Fergie’s turbulent relationship, the family’s finances, how the royal family at large are struggling to cope with them, and the many affairs both the Duke and Duchess of York allegedly engaged in.
According to royal expert Ingrid Seward, who has also written biographies on the royal family, she believes both York daughters will be “finding this very difficult – it’s a horrid time”.
“I’m not surprised they haven’t come out and said anything in his defence. For his girls to show their solidarity publicly wouldn’t benefit them in any way,” Seward said, according to the Daily Mail.
Another source also suggested to the publication: “They’re keeping their distance from their dad.”
Lownie has described the explosive biography as a “tale of childhood trauma, infidelity, lust, betrayal, corruption, greed, extravagance, arrogance, entitlement, establishment cover-up and hubris”.
The timing of the book’s release conflicted with Princess Beatrice’s 37th birthday , which former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond said would’ve had a huge impact on her big day.
Bond also suggested that Beatrice would feel protective over her parents, and may have had to scale down her birthday celebrations as a result of the fresh allegations.
Jennie told the Mirror : “Love is blind, they say. And, in spite of all their faults, Andrew and Fergie have retained the unconditional love and loyalty of their two daughters. This week’s avalanche of lurid reports about their father, and tales of their mother’s irresponsible extravagance, will have been an unwelcome 37th birthday gift for Beatrice — but her instinct will be once again to protect her parents and ignore the noise.
“By now, she has probably come to terms with the fact that Andrew should never have done the disastrous Newsnight interview which directly led to his downfall, and she should not have been with him or supported his decision to speak out.”
