Princess Eugenie has reportedly severed all ties with her father, Andrew, due to the ongoing controversy surrounding his association with Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who lost his royal titles last year, is said to be deeply saddened by the estrangement from his youngest daughter.
It is reported that Princess Eugenie, aged 35, has chosen not to communicate with her father and did not visit him during the Christmas holidays. A source mentioned to the Mail on Sunday that there is no contact between them, likening the situation to the level of complete disconnection seen with Brooklyn Beckham.
The situation worsened for the former Duke of York during Christmas when his daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, did not include him in the family gathering at Sandringham. While Beatrice is attempting to maintain a delicate balance between staying connected to her father and the royal family, Eugenie has completely cut off communication with him.
Following the removal of his royal titles, Andrew had to relinquish his lease on the Royal Lodge mansion and move his belongings, including valuable artwork, to a secure warehouse in South London. Recent sightings of a removal van at Royal Lodge indicate that Andrew is expected to vacate the property soon, with plans to relocate to Marsh Farm in Norfolk.
Both Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, who have resided together in the Royal Lodge since 2008, must vacate the property by the end of the month. Reports suggest that Ferguson is ready to explore new living arrangements, possibly considering Eugenie’s home in Portugal as a temporary option.
As renovations take place at Marsh Farm, Andrew may move to temporary accommodations until he settles into his new residence around Easter. Despite Andrew’s denial of any wrongdoing in connection to the Epstein scandal, uncomfortable images of him surfaced in public shortly before Christmas.
The US Department of Justice was expected to release a significant portion of the Epstein files by a certain deadline, shedding light on the investigation involving Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. However, only a fraction of the documents were disclosed, with many sections heavily redacted.
Representatives for Princess Eugenie and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor have been approached for comments on the matter.
