As the daughters of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, Princess Beatrice, 36, and Princess Eugenie, 34, have lived their entire lives in the spotlight, yet remain grounded and continue to prioritise their families.
The two sisters are extremely close with their parents, and sources have alleged they’ve recently started to spend even more time with their father.
Though not working royals, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have been in the royal fold their whole lives, and the sisters have remained steadfast in their dedication to their family, particularly to their parents.
Sources informed Hello! that Beatrice and Eugenie have started paying more frequent visits to their dad Prince Andrew, who resides at the controversial Royal Lodge. They’ve allegedly been “taking turns” spending weekends with him, with their young children joining.
According to the publication, the source claimed: “The girls take the grandchildren to visit him most weekends. They are spending far more time with him now than they have done in recent years. They are quite close to their father; they seem to be quite protective towards him.”
Recently, the Duke of York was spotted going horseback riding with Beatrice’s three-year-old daughter, Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi, who he is reportedly teaching how to ride.
However, insiders allege Beatrice and Eugenie’s decision to spend more time with their father could be as a result of the stress he’s under due to the uncertainty of his residence.
“Andrew is like a lost puppy these days, constantly leaning on Sarah and their daughters for emotional support. He’s become increasingly clingy, reaching out to them every chance he gets, almost as if they’re his only lifeline,” a source told In Touch.
The report comes after it was alleged that Prince Andrew had secured enough funds to remain living at the Royal Lodge, which King Charles allegedly wanted to evict him from.
A second source also previously told the publication that, “the two princesses have spoken to their uncle, asking him to forgive Andrew and for the two brothers to mend fences. But it remains to be seen if their requests have been heard.”
