King Charles has stepped in amid a royal family scandal, pledging to safeguard Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie as their mother, Sarah Ferguson, faces life without her Duchess of York title.
Sarah reportedly agreed to drop her title after Prince Andrew relinquished his Duke of York status due to the fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein controversy. King Charles, sources claim, remains determined to shield his nieces from the consequences.
According to palace insiders, the King refused to approve any changes that could affect Beatrice and Eugenie’s royal status. As granddaughters of Queen Elizabeth II, both retain their Her Royal Highness titles. The monarch reportedly holds the princesses in deep affection and high regard.
Concerns for the sisters have grown in recent years. They have endured relentless public scrutiny as their parents’ past actions made headlines. Princess Eugenie notably did not post a public birthday message to her mother this week, adding to speculation about family strain.
Amid the royal family scandal, Beatrice continues life in London with husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, their daughters, and stepson Wolfie. Meanwhile, Eugenie resides in Portugal with husband Jack Brooksbank and their two young sons.
Despite the controversy, Sarah and Andrew remain at the Royal Lodge in Windsor. While the King cannot legally remove Andrew from the property, the arrangement will persist as long as he can afford the rent.
The Duke’s announcement that he would give up his title and royal honours reportedly brought quiet relief at Buckingham Palace. Insiders say the King feels “glad” that Andrew finally accepted responsibility.
However, the repercussions stretch beyond titles. Ferguson faces backlash after a leaked email revealed her close ties with Epstein, whom she once publicly denounced. Charities including the Teenage Cancer Trust and Prevent Breast Cancer have now severed connections with her.
The scandal has reignited scrutiny over the Yorks’ turbulent past — from financial troubles to public embarrassment. Despite everything, Sarah continues to express loyalty to her ex-husband, insisting she will “never let him down.”
Their long and complicated relationship began when they met as teenagers and later married in 1986. Although divorced a decade later, they remained unusually close, cohabiting and co-parenting with mutual support.
Yet, as this royal family scandal deepens, questions grow over whether the Yorks can ever reclaim respect within the monarchy. For now, King Charles appears intent on protecting the next generation from the shadows of their parents’ past.
