Royal Family: Disgraced Andrew found out about Princess Eugenie's baby 'via Fergie'
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was not told about his new grandchild until much later, claims a source.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor only found out about his daughter, Princess Eugenie’s third pregnancy, through his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, a source has claimed. The former Duke of York has been hauled up in his new home in Norfolk after being stripped of his titles and kicked out of Royal Lodge due to his links to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
According to sources, Eugenie, who recently announced her third pregnancy with husband Jack Brooksbank, “has not been in touch” with her father since his recent fall from grace. She told her mother, Fergie, first, but allegedly did not break the news to her father.
A source told the Mail on Sunday: “Andrew found out that he was to be a grandpa again via Sarah.”

Prince Harry's cruel swipe at Queen Camilla with two-word nickname
Prince Harry may have recently insisted he will always be a member of the Royal Family, but this hasn’t stopped him criticising certain family members in the past, including his stepmother Queen Camilla.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is reportedly panicking after it emerged that his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, could be penning a tell-all memoir.
Both Andrew and Sarah have faced the ultimate royal downfall over the past eight months after Epstein files revealed just how close the pair were with the late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, even after he was first sentenced for child sex offences.
