Princess Eugenie has reportedly severed all ties with her father, Andrew, due to the ongoing controversy surrounding his association with Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted pedophile. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who lost his royal titles last year, is said to be deeply saddened by the estrangement from his youngest daughter.
Princess Eugenie, aged 35, has chosen not to communicate with her father and did not include him in her family’s Christmas plans. A source revealed that there is complete silence between them, likening it to the level of disconnect seen with Brooklyn Beckham.
During Christmas, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie spent time with the royal family at Sandringham, excluding their father. Beatrice is attempting to maintain a delicate balance between staying connected to the Royal Family while not completely cutting off her father, unlike Eugenie who has chosen not to engage with him.
Following the removal of his royal titles last October, Andrew had to relinquish his lease on the Royal Lodge mansion. His belongings, including valuable artwork, are now stored in a secure South London warehouse.
Recent sightings of a removal van at the Royal Lodge suggest that Andrew has been given a deadline to vacate the premises. Although not officially confirmed by Buckingham Palace, it is rumored that Andrew will be relocating to Marsh Farm in Norfolk.
Both Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, who have resided at the Royal Lodge since 2008, must leave the property by the end of the month. Reports indicate that Ferguson is prepared to move on independently. Eugenie’s residence in Portugal is being considered as an option for Ferguson as she plans her next move.
Significant activity was observed at the Windsor estate and Andrew’s potential new home on the Sandringham estate, indicating preparations for his relocation. Enhanced security measures, such as a fence and lighting, have been implemented at Marsh Farm to ensure privacy for the new occupant.
Amidst the public release of uncomfortable images related to Andrew’s connection to Epstein shortly before Christmas, he has vehemently denied any wrongdoing. The US Department of Justice was expected to release a large portion of the Epstein files but only a fraction have been made public, with many heavily redacted.
Both Princess Eugenie and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s representatives have been approached for comments on the matter.
