Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie could be bearing much of this shame amid their parents’ ongoing Jeffrey Epstein scandal, according to a royal expert. The sisters, 37 and 35 respectively, were named hundreds of times in the most recent tranche of Epstein files released by the US Department of Justice (DoJ), including revelations from their mother, Sarah Ferguson, about their personal lives. While they have never publicly commented on Sarah and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor‘s long friendship with the late paedophile, there may, of course, be much transferred unhappiness after Andrew’s arrest, royal historian Marlene Koenig suggested.
She told the Express: “They’re having a difficult time at the moment, definitely. In terms of public attention, it is a case of the sins of the father being passed down. We know Sarah took them to meet Epstein, but we don’t know what they said to her afterwards, we don’t know what they thought of him or if they warned their parents about the association.”
Ms Koenig continued: “They will be carrying a lot of bad feeling either way, because it’s hard to look at your parents, the people who raised you, and think that they might not be good people.”
He spent around 11 hours in custody as searches were conducted of his home on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk and Royal Lodge in Windsor, Berkshire.
The former prince has since been released under investigation.

Despite being stripped of his royal titles last year, Andrew is still eighth in line to the throne and an Act of Parliament would be required to prevent him from ever becoming king.
The UK Government has said it will consider introducing such legislation once police have finished their investigation into the King’s younger brother.
King Charles issued a statement shortly after his brother’s arrest on February 19, in which he said: “The law must take its course.”
Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing.
