POLL: Is Princess Beatrice right to still see disgraced dad Andrew? | Royal

Princess Beatrice was pictured joining her disgraced father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, for a horse ride on the grounds of Windsor Castle on Saturday. Beatrice was seen walking alongside her four-year-old daughter, Sienna, during the outing on Saturday, while the former Duke of York rode ahead on horseback. Sienna, who was mounted and led by a groom, was wrapped up warmly as the they all spent around 45 minutes riding through Home Park on the Windsor estate.

Beatrice’s appearance with her father follows reports that she and Eugenie skipped Christmas with their father at Royal Lodge, instead spending the festive period with King Charles and others Royal Family members at Sandringham, a move seen by some as distancing herself. There have also been claims that her sister, Princess Eugenie, has cut ties with Andrew.

However, The Sun understands that she has been to see him in recent weeks.

A friend told the outlet: “It is completely untrue she has cut him off. She has seen him several times this year and is supportive. She is there for her father whenever he needs her.”

Andrew has been stripped of his royal titles following his links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He is also required to leave Royal Lodge and is set to relocate to Marsh Farm on the King’s Sandringham estate in Norfolk.

Sarah Ferguson is also due to leave Royal Lodge though it has not ye been confirmed where she will be moving to.

Beatrice’s public outing with her father has sparked debate over whether senior royals should maintain visible relationships with Andrew or keep their distance.

The stripping of Andrew’s titles came following the October 2025 release of the posthumous memoir, Nobody’s Girl, by Virginia Giuffre.

In the book she claimed Prince Andrew sexually assaulted her on multiple occasions when she was 17 and being trafficked by Epstein. In the book, she wrote that Andrew believed having sex with her was his “birthright.”

Andrew has consistently denied all allegations made against him. He paid millions to her to settle a civil sexual assault case in 2022, despite claiming never to have met Ms Giuffre.
