Beatrice and Eugenie 'more upset with Fergie' and 'worried' about Andrew's mental health
The two princesses have reportedly been left upset by the situation and are "worried" about their father Andrew.
Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are reportedly more upset with their mother Sarah Ferguson than they are with their father Andrew Mountbatten Windsor after their latest royal downfall, it has been revealed. The two princesses have spent recent weeks watching their parents become entangled in various scandals surrounding their previous association with the late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
While Andrew, 65, who has now lost all his royal titles, has been caught up in such scandals for years and always denies any accusations, it is reportedly Sarah’s recent scandal surrounding Epstein that has upset the divorced couple’s daughters the most. This is because it emerged that Sarah had emailed Epstein in 2011 after his release from prison for child sex offences, calling him a “supreme friend” and apologising for criticising him in an interview.
A spokesperson for the former duchess, 66, has since claimed the email was only sent as Sarah feared Epstein would sue her for defamation.

While this may have been the case, the revelation has reportedly upset the once-close relationship between Sarah and her daughters Beatrice, 37, and Eugenie, 35.
The Daily Mail’s royal editor Rebecca English said that she was told the “tripod” - a nickname once used to describe the princesses close relationship with their mum - had “collapsed”.
English also said that a family friend told her that the princesses are “disappointed” with their mother.
The friend revealed: “'I would actually go so far as to say that they are even more disappointed in their mother than their father now."
The friend continued telling The Daily Mail: “The tripod has collapsed. Obviously they will continue to support their parents, but they feel so let down.They are genuinely fearful for their father and have grave concerns about what he will do for the rest of his life.
“They also love their mother dearly, of course they do. She's a wonderful grandmother, too, and they are deeply concerned about how this is all affecting her mentally as much as their father. But I think it's fair to say the scales have also somewhat fallen from their eyes.”
It is believed Eugenie and Beatrice are also very concerned about Andrew’s wellbeing now he is facing such extreme public criticism and has been evicted from his Royal Lodge mansion.
While their parents have lost all their ties to royal life, Beatrice and Eugenie still hold their princess titles. The sisters have not publicly commented on their parents' predicaments.
