If there is someone that is badly affected by the issues surrounding Prince Andrew, it's her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Eugenie. The two are said to be "deeply distressed" by the controversies their father is facing. From the fallout of the Duke of York's interview with BBC Newsnight to his relationship with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the Yorks have a handful of problems, but they remain strong.
It looks like the eighth in line to the throne is watching the world fall around him. However, he still gets the support of his kids. Princess Beatrice and Eugenie are reportedly supporting their dad with the continuous grilling he is experiencing after his interview with Emily Maitlis.
Prince Andrew already stepped down from his royal duties, his organization sponsors also pulled out their sponsorships to his causes, and he even received an invitation to fly to the United States to give evidence to the FBI about Jeffrey Epstein's case. With the whirlwind of events, a source told The Daily Beast that her kids are "deeply distressed" with the issues.
"Andrew was fighting not just for his survival but for all their survival," a family friend said. Prince Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, Princesses Beatrice, and Eugenie's mother, are now worried about the impact of his resignation to their children's future.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman told Daily Mail Online that Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie will have a limited number of engagements per year now that Prince Andrew resigned from his royal duties. Their father, too, would not be able to promote them anymore to have more royal duties like he used to. For now, they would have to focus on their day jobs.
The two Princesses of Yorks are known for doing everything to live a normal life. They have been out in public this week, doing their works as usual. Despite the tumultuous issues, their bond remains strong. The source even added that they have been through a lot of problems, but they never turned on each other.
Princess Beatrice is about to tie the knot with her fiancé, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, next year. However, the New York Post reported that the event might be scaled down as the family experiences Prince Andrew's reduced status.
Another friend revealed that the "splendor of her wedding" would be the last thing on Princess Beatrice's mind. The two sisters are both good kids and close to their parents, so they will surely think of their father's welfare than the special event.
Both Princess Beatrice and Eugenie opt to live normal lives. They also have regular jobs for quite a while now. Despite the issues surrounding the Yorks, their loyalty for their family is something that no one can break.
