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.”

Sarah Ferguson reportedly has her eyes set on her next big move. The former Duchess of York is rumored to move into her daughter’s residence in Portugal after her ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s titles were stripped away.
According to the Daily Mail, Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank £3.6million ($4.8 million) mansion in the “Hamptons of Europe.” The couple had been preparing a “grand suite” for the mother. “The word here is that Fergie will be arriving sometime in January,” one wealthy neighbour of Eugenie and Jack told the site.
‘How long she’ll stay is anyone’s guess, but if it’s a long-term move, I can guarantee she’ll fit well into the social scene. Scores of celebrities and stars have been snapping up properties in the area’, a source told the Daily Express
Reported celebrities who frequent the area and have properties in CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club include Madonna, Scarlett Johansson, and Nicole Kidman. As for Andrew, he will be moving into an estate at Sandringham in Norfolk, England, that is fully funded by King Charles.
The news comes after reports that Fergie and her ex-husband aren’t on speaking terms after Buckingham Palace made the announcement. “Things between them have completely broken down and they’re barely on speaking terms,” a source told the National Examiner. “When they do talk. it’s tense and explosive.”
The site also reports that the Duchess is planning to write a tell-all memoir and Andrew is infuriated. Te former royal “got wind of her plans and feels totally stabbed in the back,” says the source. “He’s made it clear that if she tries to throw him under the bus it will come straight back on her.”

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.

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.

Princess Eugenie is stepping into a new role as the British-based charity Arts Work has announced Her Royal Highness as a new patron. Arts Work is a “charity committed to empowering young people to lead, be changemakers and actively get involved and work within the arts and creative sector”. They shared the news on Instagram on Friday, October 3, writing on social media: “We are thrilled to announce that Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie has become our new patron. Her support marks a significant moment in our mission to champion creativity and amplify the voices of children and young people.”
“As a charity dedicated to empowering young lives through creativity, we’re so pleased to have Her Royal Highness join us in advocating for inclusive, creative opportunities that enable young people to make change happen. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to nurturing talent, building confidence, and empowering young people to become the next generation of creative and cultural leaders,” it concluded, alongside a series of pictures of Eugenie meeting volunteers and staff.
Arts Work hopes to give young people across the UK who may not have access to the arts sector a foot in the door, providing work placements and pre-employment training that “could unlock creative careers young people might never have imagined – and much more”. Eugenie is the youngest daughter of the Duke of York and Sarah, Duchess of York, and is currently eleventh-in-line to the British throne. She is also first cousins with Prince William and Prince Harry, and has two children, sons August and Ernest, with her husband Jack Brooksbank.
She works full-time as a director at art gallery Hauser & Wirth in London, and along with her older sister Princess Beatrice, they have various royal patronages. Her key patronages include co-founding The Anti-Slavery Collective, the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital and Horatio’s Garden (inspired by her own scoliosis surgery), and an ambassadorship for the Blue Marine Foundation.
In September, Eugenie made a stop in New York City to join her co-founders of The Anti-Slavery Collective as they launched a major new campaign aimed at exposing the invisible human cost behind counterfeit clothing and accessories.
According to the collective, half of European consumers aged 15-24 now say they see no issue in buying fakes, and although buying dupes might often be considered harmless, the industry is laden with exploitation from unregulated factory floors to market stalls, with evidence of forced labor, child labor, and human trafficking.
The campaign, Hidden Threads: Fake Fashion – A Human Rights Scandal, aims to highlight the terrifying statistics that reveal an estimated 218 million children aged between five and 17 around the world are working full -time, and that 70 per cent of these children are considered victims of child labor.
Princess Eugenie, exclusively told HELLO!: “It’s easy to see fake fashion as a victimless crime, but this is far from the reality. The people making, distributing, and selling these items are too often victims of coercion or exploitation. This campaign is about creating a call to action for consumers. We want people to pause and think about where their fakes come from and how they were made – because only then can we start to change the demand that fuels this exploitation.”

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.

As Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie continue to step up their royal duties, some sources believe they’re starting to take sides in the ongoing rift between their cousins Prince William and Harry—and it seems they might be leaning towards Team William.
The rift between the royal brothers has been a hot topic ever since Harry and Meghan stepped back from their royal duties in 2020. Their bombshell interview with Oprah in 2021, followed by Harry’s revealing memoir Spare
in 2023, further strained their relationship with the royal family, particularly with William.
Now, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams is suggesting that the Princesses of York are showing their “solidarity” with King Charles and Prince William over Prince Harry. As the daughters of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, Beatrice and Eugenie have always occupied a unique position within the royal family. While not considered “working royals” in the traditional sense, they’ve increasingly taken on public roles, especially in the wake of their father Prince Andrew’s retreat from royal duties.
Recently, the sisters have been ramping up their presence at official engagements even more, particularly at those involving Prince William. This comes at a pretty crucial time for the royals, with both King Charles and Princess Kate dealing with health issues.
As Fitzwilliams pointed out, the sisters recently made sure to show up at William’s first Garden Party of 2024 while Kate’s undergoing cancer treatment. He said, per the Daily Mail, that their presence was “unquestionably a show of solidarity with the heir to the throne who is currently not on speaking terms with his errant brother.” He also noted that at Royal Ascot, “Eugenie, who had been in the royal procession, was seen laughing and joking with William.” Definitely sounds like someone’s getting cozy with Team Wales!
Now, you might be thinking—weren’t Eugenie and Harry super close? Well, apparently, things have cooled off a bit. A source told Express UK that “Beatrice and Eugenie have firmly pledged their allegiance to the Royal Family” and “haven’t communicated with the Sussexes for quite a while now.”
Interestingly, there’s also been some extra York family drama involving Sarah Ferguson, affectionately known as “Fergie” and mother to Beatrice and Eugenie. Despite Meghan previously claiming that Fergie taught her how to curtsey, the Duchess of York recently stated in an interview that she “hasn’t really met” Meghan. Awkward.
The whole situation seems particularly tricky for Eugenie, given how close she once was with Prince Harry. The source mentioned that “Eugenie and Jack are very careful about what they say to friends because they don’t want to be seen as bad-mouthing Harry or Meghan.” But it’s clear that things aren’t as cozy as they used to be.
While it seems Beatrice and Eugenie are on Team Charles and William these days, who knows? Maybe they’ll be the ones to help patch things up in the future. But for now, it seems they’re focusing on supporting the working royals during this challenging time for the family.

Though there was no balcony for the newlyweds to kiss on (as per royal weddings), a red carpet outside of the cathedral sufficed as after the ceremony, the couple kissed for the cameras in the press pen.
Olivia, 31, looked dazzling in a bespoke gown by designer Emma Victoria Payne which was adorned with hand-drawn embroidery featuring an extravagant floral motif. The veil also featured edgings from Olivia’s great-great-grandmother’s veil from around 1880. She topped the look with the Faberge Myrtle Leaf Tiara, which was created specifically for the Grosvenor dynasty in 1906, and has been tiara which has been worn by generations of Grosvenors and brides marrying into the family. In a nod to the tradition of wearing something blue, the bride donned a pair of blue shoes.
Many locals had gathered to see the couple emerge from the cathedral and the sunny weather ensured a decent turnout. The duke arranged for complimentary ice cream, gelato and sorbet from three local independent cafés so that those who wished could join in the celebration. However, there was a brief interruption when protestors from the extremist group Just Stop Oil set off a fire extinguisher in the crowd as the wedding party emerged from the cathedral. They were restrained by police with no further action required.
This evening, the newlyweds will host a lavish reception at the Duke’s estate Eaton Hall located just outside Chester.

Earlier this month, Princess Beatrice said that her mother Sarah Ferguson had been given the all-clear following a skin cancer diagnosis in January. This week, the ex-wife of Prince Andrew made her return to the red carpet for a series of galas at Cannes. On Thursday night, she attended the 2024 amFAR Gala at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, where she told People about how the royal family have been supporting each other through their unprecedented series of health challenges.
“I think family unity is key… I think the key to life is that we all support each other,” she said. “And also forgiveness is a great thing. I think forgiveness of yourself, and forgiveness of others.”
The year since the coronation of King Charles III has included a new level of publicity over royal health, beginning with Ferguson’s June 2023 surgery, after a routine mammogram identified breast cancer. In January, a subsequent announcement that she had been diagnosed with skin cancer was followed by disclosures from the king and Kate Middleton that they were both being treated for unspecified forms of cancer. The king took a break from his public duties but has since returned to a near-regular schedule. Kate will stay away from public engagements until she is cleared by a doctor, according to a recent comment by her spokesperson.
In the aftermath of Kate’s diagnosis, Ferguson praised her in a statement shared to social media. “As someone who has faced their own battles with cancer in recent months, I am full of admiration for the way she has spoken publicly about her diagnosis and know it will do a tremendous amount of good to raise awareness,” it read.
Ferguson told People about her recovery and her reasons for disclosing her cancer publicly. “This evening I am doing very well. I think that we’ve managed to get cancer in the right place rather than cancer ruling me. I’ve put cancer in the corner,” she said. “I think you always have to be aware. I think it’s great to get checked for breast cancer [and] melanoma. I think you just have to be very candid about it… I think a lot of people get very frightened to talk about these things,” the Duchess of York continued. “I’m very happy with my mastectomy and my breasts and just to talk about it.”
The 64-year-old Ferguson made her first Cannes red carpet appearance at Wednesday’s Knights of Charity gala. According to Hello! she wore an emerald green beaded and sequined gown by Vivienna Lorikeet, and a gold bangle engraved with the name “Eugenie,” for her daughter, Princess Eugenie.

In Royal Family news, King Charles is reportedly set to snub his nieces Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice for a promotion to working royals.
This is because he is reportedly eyeing up Lady Louise Windsor as an addition to the working royals roster – once she has finished her studies, that is.
The King is eyeing up some new royals to add to the working royal roster next year. However, he is set to overlook Eugenie and Beatrice, according to royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams.
Beatrice and Eugenie have been tipped for working royal roles in the past. Earlier this year, it was reported that emergency meetings had been held over whether to get the sisters to help out with some of the engagements and ease the burden on other working royals.
However, Richard doesn’t think Charles will end up adding them to the royal work rota.
Speaking on GB News, he reasoned that it was because their father, Prince Andrew, is in “disgrace” that they’re not going to get a look in.
“I think it would have been a different situation if Andrew had not been in disgrace. But as it is, I don’t think that is likely,” he said.

However, there is one royal who could be getting a call-up soon – Lady Louise Windsor.
The 20-year-old is currently studying at St Andrews University – the same uni that William and Kate met in the early noughties.
“There might be the possibility of Lady Louise Windsor [becoming a working royal] once she has finished her studies,” Fitzwilliams then told the news outlet.
However, Eugenie in particular could play a different role for the King. Andrew’s youngest daughter is very close to Prince Harry – and could be used to help bridge the gap between the Sussexes and the royals.
“Princess Eugenie knows what she is doing. The fact she is close to the Sussexes could be an advantage. You need a foot in both camps. One day they will hope for a peaceful resolution so that could be very useful,” Fitzwilliams added.
ED! has contacted Buckingham Palace for comment.

In other royal news, a reconciliation between Prince William and his brother, Prince Harry doesn’t look to be on the cards in 2024, according to a psychic.
Speaking on behalf of SpinGenie, astrologer Inbaal Honigman, doesn’t forsee any reunions between Harry and William in her tarot cards.
“We’ll be hearing more directly from the heir to the throne in 2024. The communicative Queen of Swords card says that he will be taking speaking roles more regularly. He will be giving speeches and talks, communicating directly with the press and those around him,” Inbaal said.
“His cards are successful and sociable, centering William himself as the main character in this era,” she later said.
“There doesn’t appear to be any mending of family rifts indicated in his Tarot reading for 2024.”
