Princess Beatrice and Eugenie are reportedly “concerned” for their mother Sarah Ferguson‘s wellbeing after her and their father ex-Prince Andrew‘s royal exile.
A source told Radar Online in a report published on November 16 that many members of the British royal family, including Fergie’s daughters Beatrice and Eugenie, believe she’s headed down a “dangerous downward spiral” and is “losing her grip” after she and Andrew lost their royal titles and home at Royal Lodge following their association with late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
“Sarah’s been drinking heavily lately. She says it helps her unwind, but it’s gone way beyond that – she’s staying up late most nights with a glass in her hand. Everyone around her is deeply concerned because she seems genuinely scared about what’s ahead. Considering her recent health issues, what she’s doing – pickling her organs – could be seen as suicidal or a death wish,” the insider said, adding that those close to Fergie believe she’s “drowning her sorrows.”
Another source called Fergie’s alleged behavior “heartbreaking” after her battle with two forms of cancer. She was previously diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023 and melanoma, a type of skin cancer, in 2024.
“She’s become very fragile and emotional. Some nights she talks about everything she’s lost – her place in the family, her home, her direction in life. She’s terrified of ending up with nothing, and those close to her are afraid she might reach a breaking point,” the insider said.
As for her daughters, the source claimed that Beatrice and Eugenie have been encouraging Fergie to “ease up on the drinking.” “The girls are deeply concerned,” the insider said. “They’re constantly checking in, urging her to ease up on the drinking and take care of herself. They’ve even reached out to other relatives to make sure someone’s always looking out for her.”
Fergie’s older sister, public relations executive Jane Ferguson Luedecke, also recently flew from Australia to London to offer her support, according to Radar Online’s source. “Jane’s doing her best to cheer her up, but Sarah just isn’t herself,” the insider said. “She’s been in tears often and keeps saying she feels stuck. She still promises to support Andrew, but deep down she knows their paths have split – and it’s really weighing on her.”
The inside also noted that Fergie and Andrew’s relationship has deteriorated dramatically ever since their royal exile started. “They’re basically strangers now,” the insider said. “Andrew spends his time shut away, pacing and mumbling to himself, while Sarah retreats to her bar or stays in her room. The only time they come together is for meals, and even then, it’s just endless talk about their problems. It’s a really grim atmosphere.”
The source continued, “Sarah’s petrified she’ll get dragged down with everything surrounding Andrew. She’s convinced there are shadowy figures keeping tabs on him and fears she could be next. It might sound far-fetched, but she’s truly rattled.”
As for what’s keeping her going, the source noted that Fergie has taken comfort in Sandy and Muick, two corgis who once belonged to Queen Elizabeth II that Andrew gifted to her following his mother’s death. “The pets are what keep her grounded,” the insider said. “They’re the only thing that truly soothes her. But when evening comes and she’s alone again in The Doghouse, all the anxiety and dark thoughts creep back in.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seem to be much happier since they moved to the US. Sure, Harry has taken steps to reconcile with his father and reportedly wants to do the same with his brother, but it doesn’t appear as though the two are interested in returning to the UK full-time. If anything, it just seems like King Charles’ illness made everyone reevaluate how short life really is.
But, in the middle of scandals surrounding Andrew Mountbouten-Windsor, will any other royals flee the UK for the United States? The answer might just be yes, as RadarOnline.com is reporting that Prince Harry is trying to convince his cousins to join his “royal rebels club.”

Reports indicate Eugenie has begun to consider moving away from the UK with her husband, Jack Brooksbank, and their two children, August and Ernest. “Eugenie feels really exposed and vulnerable. With her parents suddenly cast adrift, she thinks she has to be ready for whatever comes next. She’s not about to walk away from London or the royals, but she needs alternatives – and at the moment London just feels overwhelming,” the outlet reported.
And Harry has allegedly offered a sanctuary. “They’ve been insisting she needs room to breathe and saying America is the place she and her sister can finally get it.”
Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank were the first royals to visit Harry and Meghan in the United States, so the claim might indeed hold. “Harry has really been missing home and misses both princesses a lot. Having Eugenie and Jack, or – better – them and Beatrice, close by would feel like getting back a small part of the family he’s been cut off from,” a source said, indicating Harry would love it if both of his cousins moved near him, or at least visited more often.
Harry reportedly agreed with former Prince Andrew facing consequences for his actions, but like his father, he wishes to protect Beatrice and Eugenie. “If any royal understands what it is like to be frozen out of The Firm, it’s Harry. He hates his uncle’s friendship with Epstein, but he understands what everyone is going through, as he is still estranged from most of his family,” another source said.
“He has been saying he won’t let Eugenie or Beatrice be dragged under with Andrew and wants to protect them from the worst of the scandal fallout.”
Recent reports from the National Enquirer said more or less the same. “Eugenie by no means wants to turn her back on the monarchy, but it’s very uncomfortable for her in London at the moment,” a source said. “So Harry and Meghan have been urging Eugenie to break out of the royal bubble and spend more time in America.”
All of this comes after RadarOnline.com reported that the King and Prince William used Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie as leverage to get Andrew to accept stepping away from royal life and vacating Royal Lodge.
“The signal couldn’t have been clearer,” one source told the outlet. “Beatrice and Eugenie would be protected – but only if Andrew stood down. Their titles, positions and future roles were very much part of the discussion,” with another source adding, “It wasn’t presented as an ultimatum, but the meaning was obvious – it was basically a bribe, but put in the most polite language. Had Andrew continued to dig in, the King and Prince William would have been forced to look at broader changes for his daughters.”

Princess Eugenie and Beatrice aren’t keeping their feelings secret from their cousin. Sources say that the Princesses are furious at Prince William for allegedly threatening to revoke their titles as Princesses after their father ex-Prince Andrew, got his titles stripped.
For now, reports from multiple outlets say that the Princesses will keep their royal titles and will still be styled as Her Royal Highness. However, with talks that Prince William will allegedly plan to remove their titles, they have quite a reaction.
The heir was speculated to have threatened his cousins of removing their titles so that their father could move out of the Royal Lodge, after journalist Emily Maitlis (who interviewed Andrew during his infamous Newsnight appearance) claimed that William put pressure on his cousins to confront their father . However, People reported that a meeting between the cousins never existed.
“Everyone’s telling them how lucky they are, but the fact that William was using that as a bargaining chip was something that still sits very badly with them,” an insider told the National Examiner. “They can’t help but fear it’s only a temporary reprieve.”
The decision reportedly made the sisters mad and “trash-talking” their cousin. “These bad feelings towards William will do them no good in the long run, but right now, the emotion is running sky-high,” says the insider. “They can’t help themselves. At the end of the day, they’re their parents’ daughters, very headstrong and defiant, and that’s really coming to the fore.”
Despite it all, the sisters are standing by their father. “They still love their father very much, even though they fully acknowledge he’s made terrible mistakes and is now paying for them dearly,” the source expanded.
When William becomes King, he does not have the authority to strip their royal titles as removing them would require an Act of Parliament. The Princesses will retain their titles in accordance with King George V’s Letters Patent of 1917.
The sisters will be allowed to attend royal events for the time being. But The Sunday Times claimed that Prince William will try to exclude his uncle Andrew from both public and private royal events, including his coronation.

Andrew and Sarah Ferguson are, of course, not the ones who are affected by the recent drama they’ve caused and the loss of not just their titles, but their home at Royal Lodge. Their daughters are, of course, also in the eye of the storm. And with their father being basically exiled to Sandringham and their mother moving somewhere separately for the first time in years, everyone is wondering how Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie will react and how this all affects them.
There have been multiple reports confirming the two will keep their royal titles, remaining princesses, and will still be styled as Her Royal Highness. However, People is reporting from sources that the fallout will still have a “devastating effect” on the two. Ailsa Anderson, a former press secretary to the late Queen Elizabeth told the outlet, “Even though they keep their titles, the ripple effect will have consequences for the rest of their lives.”
Related: Here’s what each royal inherited from Queen Elizabeth
Anderson pointed out that the two and their parents are “clearly a close-knit family.” Fergie once disclosed to the outlet that she and her daughters call themselves “the Tripod” due to their tight bond. Both of Andrew and Fergie’s daughters are married. Beatrice has been married to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi since 2020, and they share two daughters: Sienna, 4, and Athena, 10 months.
Eugenie, meanwhile, married Jack Brooksbank in 2018. The couple has two sons, August, 4, and Ernest, 2. Neither of the sisters is a working royal, and the two have their own jobs outside of the royal family. But that doesn’t mean the loss of their parents’ status won’t affect them, or that they won’t end up in a position where they have to respond monetarily for them, or at least their mother, as Andrew is reportedly being looked after by King Charles.
Royal expert Christopher Wilson recently told the Daily Mail the status of the princesses had been “tarnished” as a result of their parents’ recent loss of titles and the scandal of their connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and the fallout could end up costing them. “The princesses use their titles to earn money – and if that starts to dry up as a result of their father’s disgrace, they may be tempted to follow their mother Fergie’s example of accepting more and more low-grade offers to use their face and name in order to rake in the cash.”
The status of the two was reportedly used as leverage for Andrew to agree to give up his title and honors and move away from Royal Lodge, where he remained in the public eye. Emily Maitlis, who conducted the infamous Newsnight interview with Andrew in 2019 that started his downward spiral of semi-accountability, said on her News Agents podcast, “They are at the moment allowed to be princesses, but there was a bit of pressure, we understand, being put on the princesses to say this is going to happen.”
Bottom line, Beatrice and Eugenie will continue to be princesses, but that doesn’t mean this isn’t going to affect them.

Prince Andrew‘s family held an emergency summit to discuss their role in the royal family now that he lost his titles. However, one person was noticeably absent in the mix: Princess Eugenie.
Sources told the Daily Mail that Prince Andrew, his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, and Princess Beatrice held a summit at the Royal Lodge to “discuss the changes and assess what the family’s future looked like in the face of such scandal.” Beatrice arrived at her parents’ residence alone.
“The Royal Lodge ‘summit’ wasn’t a happy occasion and the family, once a strong unit, is fractured,” a royal insider told the Daily Mail of Eugenie’s absence.
The meeting itself took a toll on Princess Beatrice. “She was on the phone saying she couldn’t bring herself to look at the Sunday papers,” a royal source told the outlet. “She looked absolutely devastated.”
Sources revealed that Princess Beatrice and Eugenie didn’t know about their father’s plans in advance. Prince Andrew was reportedly “bounced into agreeing a statement” without first discussing it with his daughters.
With the loss of his titles, the royal family is pressuring Fergie and Prince Andrew to vacate According to the News Agents podcast hosted by Emily Maitlis, who conducted Prince Andrew’s infamous BBC interview that saw him lose his status as a working royal, William potentially threatened his cousins, with the removal of their titles if their father doesn’t give up his lease.
According to Maitlis (via the Daily Beast), “the Palace told ITN and the Press Association—the big wire services—to crew the gates outside Royal Lodge at 8 p.m. because, and this was the phrase they used, ‘there may be passing traffic.’ Nothing more was said — just that there may be passing traffic,” on Thursday.
She also added, “There was a question over whether there had been, earlier in the day, a meeting between Prince William and the princesses Beatrice and Eugenie saying, ‘You’ve got to get your dad to move out of Royal Lodge, otherwise we will start re-examining the state of your own titles.’ They are, at the moment, allowed to be princesses, but there was pressure being put on them. Obviously, you can see why Andrew, as a father, would want to keep his daughters happy and keep their titles in place.”
It also comes after reports from The Sun that Andrew had laid out a series of demands in order to vacate his home. He is said to want Frogmore Cottage, which used to be the home of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, as a new home for himself. Not just that, he also wants Sarah Ferguson, who lives with him at Royal Lodge, to be able to live in Adelaide Cottage,

Every new detail that comes out about Jeffrey Epstein and his circle just reminds us what a monster this man was — and why we should never stop fighting to uncover the names of every participant in his underage sex trafficking ring.
One name that’s been out there maybe the longest? Prince Andrew.
The royal family’s black sheep has never been formally charged with a crime, but he has been accused of engaging in the sex trafficking. Victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre claimed Epstein sent her to have sex with Andrew more than once, including when she was just 17 years old. As disgusting as that is — considering Andrew would have been 41 at the time — it’s worse when you factor in his daughters.
Andrew’s own children Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie were 12 and 11, respectively, when Andrew allegedly had sex with Virginia for the first time.
Related: Virginia Giuffre Describes ‘Prime Minister’ Who Tortured Her In Posthumous Memoir!
You might think Andrew compartmentalized this fact when he was having sex with a teen girl. But it was apparently front of mind. In her posthumous memoir, Virginia describes the first night she met Andrew. She says Epstein’s Ghislaine Maxwell introduced them — and challenged the Prince to guess Virginia’s age.
“The Duke of York, who was then 41, guessed correctly: 17. ‘My daughters are just a little younger than you,” he told me, explaining his accuracy.’”
Ew. Ew ew ewwww! He said this to her?! He could tell how young she was because of how she resembled his own young daughters?!? JFC, man.

And if you think that’s disturbing, it gets worse when Maxwell responds:
“As usual, Maxwell was quick with a joke: ‘I guess we will have to trade her in soon.’”
WTF. What the actual bleeding EFF.
“We will have to trade her in”? As in… trade her in because she’s too old? For what, girls even younger? As in, closer in age to his own daughters? Or was she actually joking about trading her for Beatrice and Eugenie??
Any possible interpretation we can think of is more horrifying than the last. JFC, these people…
We have to say, this is even more horrifying when you take into account Epstein’s claims that Sarah Ferguson brought the princesses along with her when she visited him after he got out of prison. You know, the first time he evaded sex trafficking charges. That would have been just a few years after the meeting Virginia described. The idea of Beatrice and Eugenie coming face to face with that monster after this convo? Shivers.

Prince Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, have been involved in scandal after scandal. The latest, and the one that seems to have been the last nail in the coffin of their public relationship with the British royal family, was an email leak which revealed Ferguson apologized to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein after publicly condemning him. But so far, their scandals have not touched their daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
The Daily Mail is reporting that although the two take pride in being “working, young, royal women” balancing their royal duties with work and motherhood, their “rarified” upbringing has played a large role in making them “just as entitled as their parents.”
Related: Here’s what each royal inherited from Queen Elizabeth
All of this is reportedly due to their parents’ decisions, parents whom the two still stand by despite their controversies. In fact, the outlet claims that the sisters say they draw inspiration from the “strength inside” their mother, Sarah Ferguson, and remain protective of their father, despite the Epstein scandal.
Similarly, reports indicate that both Andrew and Sarah believe their daughters “deserve” the life of privilege they live, without the burden of royal duties. That’s why they’ve taken them with them across the world, and introduced them to their “shady” friends.
“They were never going to be working royals but have benefitted from their family connection. Andrew introduced them to many of his business contacts and foreign royals. They and Fergie have become friends with some shady people” the Daily Mail’s royal source said.
“Beatrice and Eugenie grew up in this rarefied world in which there was always someone to do everything for you,” the source added. “That was illustrated when Beatrice had her BMW stolen in 2009 after leaving it unlocked with the car keys in the ignition. I think she was used to her police protection officer looking after such things.”
As for their royal duties, the source also said, “Whether you believe it was their decision [to not be working royals] or it was them and their father putting a brave face on things, he and they said they wanted careers instead of a life of ribbon-cutting. Andrew maintained it was their decision.”
This all comes after The Times reported that King Charles would keep both Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie at arm’s length after the new controversy their parents were involved in, and wanted Prince Andrew and Fergie to be “invisible” at future gatherings, including their family Christmas celebrations. And if this was mostly because of their parents, these new reports are unlikely to move the needle in the Princesses’ favor.
Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, recently spoke about the sisters’ relationship with their mom to the Daily Mail: “They probably knew what a state she was in when that email was sent 14 years ago. I think their first instinct will be to protect her. They’ve got no alternative but to support her even though they’ve already had to put up with a lot.”
Whether the rest of the family will support them all remains to be seen.

Margot Robbie made headlines earlier this month when she stepped out on the red carpet wearing a glittering Armani gown showing her thong as she promoted her new movie, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, in London. While the ‘naked dress’ trend isn’t something new for A-list celebrities – Kate Moss famously lighting the first match when she wore a sheer gown in 1993 – but, it is also something embraced by members of the British royal family.
While traditionally conservative with their dress sense, there have been moments when we’ve seen royals inspired by the sheer side of life when it comes to their sartorial portfolio. HELLO!’s Online Royal Correspondent Danicelle Stacey explains: “While the likes of the Princess of Wales are unlikely to ever fully embrace the naked dress trend, the examples we have seen some royal ladies wear never push the boundaries of what is appropriate for a member of the royal family. Their outfit choices are often a feminine, subtle play on the risqué design, proving that royals like to have fun with their fashion.”
Join us as we take a look at all the times members of the British royal family have embraced the ‘naked dress’ trend.

Being the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson must not be easy, particularly in the wake of the biography about the two, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York. Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie already had to put up with a lot of scrutiny because of the fact that they’re royalty, but their parents’ respective scandals certainly did not help. And the new book was just the cherry on top of the sundae.
Princess Beatrice, however, has her happy marriage and her family to lean back on. She and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, have Sienna, 3, and Athena, 8 months. Beatrice is also a stepmother to her husband’s 9-year-old son, Christopher Woolf, whom he shares with ex Dara Huang.
Related: Here’s what each royal inherited from Queen Elizabeth
One of the couple’s friends, Juliet Angus of The Real Housewives of London fame, told HELLO! in a recent interview, “They’re the sweetest, and they’re adorable.” Not just that, she added that despite their upbringing, she’s gotten to see their less than formal sides. “I love their relationship and how cute and modern they are,” she added. “I love that they’re a blended family — rules don’t have to be such big rules anymore.”
This good news for the couple come months after reports their jobs kept them apart for long periods of time, which could be hard for the couple. “[Spending] a lot of time apart due to work can definitely put a big stain on Princess Beatrice and her husband’s relationship and cause them to become emotionally disconnected,” relationship coach Nicole Moore, the founder & CEO of Love Works Method, told The List.
As non-working royals, both Princess Beatrice and her sister, Princess Eugenie, maintain their own jobs and so do their husbands.
“When couples are apart a lot, it almost always causes their emotional connection to dwindle unless they are steadfast in maintaining a lot of communication when apart.” Moore added. At the time, though, it was just speculation because of the fact that the two were spending a lot of time apart.
However, all these months later, it seems their relationship is still going strong. And though, for a while, it had been speculated that perhaps William would be looking to make Beatrice and her sisters senior royals when he ascended to the throne, that is no longer expected to be the case.
One former royal employee told the Express it was unlikely to happen. “Beatrice has her own career, so I don’t see William making her a senior member of the working royals,” former butler Grant Harrold said. Princess Beatrice, nonetheless, often represents the royal family at official engagements, when required and will likely continue to do so.
She just won’t make it a full-time job. And considering the scrutiny that comes with being a working royal, scrutiny her kids have so far mostly escaped, this might be a good thing. It’s already hard enough having to contend with scandal after scandal coming from your parents.

EDOARDO Mapelli Mozzi is the property developer husband of Princess Beatrice.
On January 22, 2025, Beatrice gave birth to her second daughter with Edoardo and named her Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi.
Edoardo is the founder of a property consultancy firm called Banda, which means “big shed” in Swahili.
He founded the company in 2007.
He specialises in discreetly finding and developing multi-million-pound homes for rich clients.
The couple’s first child was born on September 18, 2021.
They named their first daughter Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi in a touching nod to Queen Elizabeth II.
Their second child was born on January 22, 2025.
Beatrice and Edoardo named their second daughter Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi.
Athena shares a middle name with her older sister and the late Queen Elizabeth II.
She weighed just 4lbs and 5oz when she was born, since she was born prematurely, but is “healthy”.
Announcing the birth, a post on the Royal Family’s social media said: “Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are delighted to announce the safe arrival of their daughter, Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi, born on Wednesday, January 22, at 12:57pm.
“The baby was born weighing 4 pounds and 5 ounces.
“The King and Queen, and other members of The Royal Family have all been informed and are delighted with the news.
“Princess Beatrice and Mr Mapelli Mozzi would like to thank all the staff at the hospital for their wonderful care.
“Her Royal Highness and her daughter are healthy and doing well, and the family are enjoying spending time together with Athena’s older siblings, Wolfie and Sienna.”
Edoardo also has a son named Christopher Woolf with his ex-fiancee Dara Huang.
He was born on March 28, 2016.
Princess Beatrice is now a stepmother to Christopher, known as Wolfie.
The princess met Edoardo first met in September 2018, shortly before Beatrice’s younger sister Eugenie got married.
A friend told The Sun at the time: “Beatrice and Edo have the same circle of friends and were introduced through a mutual chum.
“They hit it off instantly and have a real laugh together. They’ve been on holiday together and Beatrice introduced him to Fergie and her dad.”
They added: “Everyone is thrilled that Bea is so happy and in such a good place right now.”
Beatrice had been single since splitting from her American boyfriend Dave Clark in 2016 after a decade together.
As the daughter of Prince Andrew and granddaughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Beatrice and Edoardo could have had a public royal wedding as enjoyed by her younger sister Eugenie.
However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the ceremony was postponed until July 17, 2020.
Despite being rescheduled, the couple decided to have a small ceremony at Windsor Castle.
Their wedding was attended by 20 guests, including the late Queen, Prince Philip, her father Prince Andrew and mother Sarah Ferguson.

On Thursday evening, the gorgeous Princess Beatrice looked glowing and in great spirits as she was photographed leaving one of London’s coolest haunts, Chiltern Firehouse.
Looking relaxed and happy, the redhead royal wowed onlookers in a fabulous new outfit; which consisted of black tailored trousers, kitten heels, and the daughter of Sarah Ferguson wore a coordinating black velvet jacket which was tied with an adjustable bow at the waist.
With her long long locks full and flowing, the 36-year-old has never looked better.
The wonderful news of the royal’s second pregnancy came on Tuesday, and was announced on the Royal Family’s official Instagram account.
Alongside a first jovial picture of the Princess and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, the caption read: “Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are very pleased to announce that they are expecting their second child together in early spring; a sibling for Wolfie, aged eight, and Sienna, aged three. His Majesty The King has been informed and both families are delighted with the news.”
The heartwarming second snap showed the couple’s blonde daughter Sienna, as she walked along a country lane, holding hands in the middle of her father and big brother Wolfie. So cute!
Beatrice loves fashion and the daughter of Prince Andrew often sports a variety of fabulous outfits and labels, from Gucci to Beulah London. Earlier this year she was even crowned as Tatler’s best dressed of 2024!
Many noticed that the royal has recently added a selection of smart jackets and coats into her working wardrobe. Perhaps this was to conceal her growing bump?
Beatrice recently went to New York, and sure enough, wore outwear staples during visits in public.
In particular, at the Youth Impact Council Launch, she rocked an on-trend, black ‘Milane’ mini dress from one of her favourite labels, Sandro Paris, and she made sure she teamed it with a sumptuous suede tan trench coat which concealed most of her outfit. Clever!

Princess Eugenie is set to become an auntie again! The royal, 34, shared a congratulatory message to her big sister Princess Beatrice following the announcement that Beatrice is expecting her second child with husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi next year.
“Congratulations Beabea.. So looking forward to more on this journey of motherhood together. And adding another little one to the gang,” she wrote in an Instagram post.
While Beatrice shares daughter Sienna, three, and stepson Christopher Woolf, eight, with Edoardo, Eugenie has sons August, three, and one-year-old Ernest with husband Jack Brooksbank.
Eugenie shared a personal snap with Jack, Edoardo and Beatrice on a beach with their respective children, August and Sienna, then around 22 months and 15 months old, dressed in puddle suits as they splashed around in their wellies in the low tide.
A second shot showed the royal sisters standing close together and beaming at the camera, both dressed in wax jackets and hats, with Eugenie donning red festive woollies.
Eugenie admitted in the caption: “I couldn’t find a single group shot of us [hand to face emoji], so this one from Christmas 2022 will have to do.”
The couples spent Christmas at the Sandringham estate in Norfolk as King Charles hosted for the very first time in his reign.
At the time, Eugenie was pregnant with her second son, Ernest, but she officially announced the news in January 2023.
Beatrice and Edoardo were also joined by Edoardo’s son Wolfie on the walk to church on Christmas Day.
Proud grandmother Sarah, Duchess of York also expressed her joy at becoming a granny again.
Sharing rare snaps of Beatrice and Sienna, the author, 64, wrote in an Instagram post: “A very proud GiGi/Mum today. Such an incredible blessing and an embrace to my heart. Wolfie, August, Ernie and Sienna will be over the moon to have the fifth member of the five aside.”
The official statement from Buckingham Palace released on Tuesday read: “Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are very pleased to announce that they are expecting their second child together in early spring; a sibling for Wolfie, aged eight, and Sienna, aged three. His Majesty The King has been informed and both families are delighted with the news.”

With the release of A Very Royal Scandal underway, Prince Andrew‘s family is being very cautious. But the question is…are they still close with one another?
Prince Andrew faced a lot of scrutiny due to his alleged relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and the interview would serve as a way to save his public image. Prince Andrew said he “regretted” his connection to Epstein but had no memory of ever meeting Giuffre. In wake of the scandal, Prince Andrew’s team and his daughter Beatrice set up an interview with BBC’s NewsNight that proved to be a PR nightmare instead.

Days later, Prince Andrew asked Queen Elizabeth to take a step back from his public royal duties. In 2022, Andrew was stripped of his military titles after a judge ruled a sexual abuse civil lawsuit against him could proceed, which he settled. Prince Andrew hasn’t been in the spotlight ever since the scandal came out, but did his actions affect his daughters?
Prince Andrew seems to still have a complicated relationship with his daughters. Royal expert Angela Levin explains that Eugenie moving to Portugal might have been the right move in the midst of his scandal.
“I don’t know if Eugenie would have sat down with her father and had a chat to maintain a relationship after the scandal,” Levin explained to The Sun. “She’s moved to Portugal. I know she wanted to get away from London and maybe she feels she wants to get away from the scandal. The move could have been to get away from the problems with her dad, but her husband has a very well-paid job out there and she’s extremely happy.”
Meanwhile, Princess Beatrice was seen to be emotional after the interview aired. “Beatrice was sombre and make-up-free for the birthday dinner,’ a source told Daily Mail. when she was hosting her fiancé’s birthday party at the tine. “She was probably worried that her mascara would run. She seemed quite tearful at times. In fact, Beatrice has been in tears every day since the interview went out.”
Even though the two seemed to be distanced from their disgraced father, Prince Andrew attended her wedding to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. However, he did not appear in the official wedding portraits released by Buckingham Palace.
In regards to how they were portrayed in A Very Royal Scandal, Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson aren’t pleased with the results. Meanwhile, Eugenie and Beatrice are going to keep mum. One of their friends told The Daily News that the sisters are “torn between their love for their father and their horror at the compromising situation that he has embroiled them all in”.
However, a source told The Daily Beast, “This film is going to traduce their father and if they say anything to defend him it will just make it worse.” One friend of Beatrice said, “There is nothing good you can say about it all. It’s ghastly for all of them. The girls are just getting on with their lives.”

Princess Eugenie recalled one of her favourite memories from the London 2012 Olympics, as she paid tribute to the current crop of athletes at the Paris 2024 Games.
The royal, 34, uploaded a series of throwback snaps showing her and sister, Princess Beatrice, cheering on Team GB at various events, including a very personal one.
“The Olympics is one of the best things in our world,” Eugenie wrote. “It’s such a special time watching superhuman athletes represent their countries, bringing people together and inspiring generations.
“Some of my most favourite memories from 2012 was being on the sidelines cheering on our heroes. Not to mention, the best moment of all, watching my family win silver in eventing, goooo Z!”
“Z” refers to Eugenie’s cousin, Zara Tindall, who won a silver medal as part of Team GB’s eventing team at the London 2012 Olympics.
Eugenie, Beatrice and their other cousins, Prince William and his wife, Kate, Prince Harry and Peter Phillips were among the spectators cheering on Zara at the event in Greenwich Park.
Photographs from the time show the British royals waving, clapping and cheering as Zara was presented by her mother and fellow Olympian, Princess Anne.
As well as Zara’s equestrian competitions, Beatrice and Eugenie also showed their support at the track cycling and swimming events.
The late Queen Elizabeth II surprised even her family members when she took part in a James Bond sketch during the London 2012 Olympics, which saw her joined by Daniel Craig at Buckingham Palace before ‘skydiving’ into the Olympic Stadium into her seat.
Referring to that iconic moment Eugenie told Kate Thornton’s White Wine Question Time podcast last year: “Nobody knew… it was amazing. We were all surprised.”
Just weeks before the London Games, Eugenie, then 22, graduated from Newcastle University with a 2:1 in English literature and history of art.
Since then, she’s become a director at art gallery, Hauser & Wirth, and married her long-term love, Jack Brooksbank, in 2018.
The couple became parents with the birth of son August in February 2021, followed by second son, Ernest in May 2023.
