Princess Beatrice would consider moving to the United States as she and Princess Eugenie deal with the fallout from their father, ex-Prince Andrew‘s, ongoing scandal linked to Jeffrey Epstein.
The situation took an emotional toll, prompting both sisters to withdraw from public life to focus on their families.
With increasing pressure and scrutiny in the UK, a fresh start abroad is being considered as Princess Beatrice and Eugenie try to move forward.
Princess Beatrice reportedly considering move amid her father’s Epstein-related controversy
Princess Beatrice is reportedly considering a move to the United States as she deals with the continued fallout linked to her father, Prince Andrew, and his association with Jeffrey Epstein.
According to a Daily Mail report, Beatrice is said to be deeply affected by the situation and is trying to keep her personal life stable amid intense public scrutiny.
Sources say the idea of moving abroad, once unthinkable, has become more realistic, especially with his sister, Princess Eugenie, living outside the UK for a long time.
A possible move could offer Béatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, a chance for a fresh start while helping them refocus on their marriage. Edoardo’s work in real estate, which frequently takes him to the United States, would make the transition more feasible.
Inside sources suggest the couple feel increasingly exposed by remaining in the UK, with ongoing investigations and the possibility of further legal developments keeping the family in the spotlight.
The situation reportedly put a strain on their marriage, especially during difficult times when Beatrice needed support and her husband was abroad working.
Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie step back from royal duties amid ongoing Prince Andrew controversy
Meanwhile, the controversy surrounding Andrew continues to loom over him.
He was reportedly arrested in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office related to alleged dealings with Epstein, and could face serious legal consequences if convicted.
According to insiders, this development was particularly difficult for Beatrice, at a time when she was already under stress and without her husband nearby.
Since their arrest, the two sisters have largely disappeared from the public scene. Reports say they will not take part in the traditional carriage procession or appear in the royal box at Ascot in June.
Princesses may stay away from public engagements for a while because of their father’s scandal
Beatrice and Eugenie’s absence has been noted at recent events, including the Cheltenham races, which were attended by royals such as Queen Camilla, Princess Anne and Zara Tindall.
Royal commentators suggest this reduced visibility may continue due to the intense scrutiny the royal family suffers from their father.
According to author Phil Dampier and Majesty Magazine Editor Ingrid Seward says that although Beatrice and Eugenie remain valued members of the royal family, the current situation has left them too closely associated with controversy to participate in major public engagements just yet.
Some experts are now suggesting their absence could extend for much of the year.
Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie lean on their family as they deal with the emotional fallout from the ongoing scandal
However, behind the scenes, the sisters are said to have a close relationship with their father and mother, Sarah Ferguson, choosing to spend time together privately while protecting their own family from the fallout.
Beatrice, who married Mozzi in 2020, is raising two young daughters while fulfilling her role as stepmother, while Eugenie, who married Jack Brooksbank in 2018, is focused on her two young sons.
Sources say the aftermath has been deeply emotional for both women, as they process the unfolding events while trying to protect their families. Insiders suggest “they also put the pieces together in real time,” insiders claim, “and realize they may have been used.”
The source continued, “It must feel like a complete betrayal. They are heartbroken, but a father is always your father, and a mother is always your mother. Love for a parent is not a switch. This is an incredibly painful and introspective time for them.”
Princess Eugenie reportedly ‘frustrated’ as she deals with fallout from Prince Andrew scandal
For Eugénie in particular, the situation was particularly difficult. According to sources, she feels unfairly caught in the fallout, describing the experience as having been “tarnished by a brush that’s not hers, it’s her father’s”, leaving her “very, very frustrated”.
While she and Beatrice try their best to stay positive, the situation has been described as “a shit show, a never-ending shit show.”
Reports suggest Eugenie has taken a step back from time spent with her father as she deals with the ongoing scandal. However, insiders stress that this distance does not mean a complete breakdown in their relationship, describing the bond as strained but not entirely broken.
