Amid the ongoing controversy surrounding former Prince Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, all eyes have been on their daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. The sisters have reportedly made efforts to remain active within the royal family, but a sense of distance lingers.
As a result, Woman’s Day is reporting that Beatrice is “drowning her sorrows” and seeking escape far from England. Close friends have even expressed concern “for her wellbeing.” The outlet claims that after a night out partying at St Tropez’s Le Club 55 in early June 2026, Beatrice spent the next day bedridden and sick.
Beatrice’s friends reportedly aren’t the only ones worried about her. In a June 23 report from Heat World, a separate source alleged that Kate Middleton is concerned about both Beatrice and Eugenie, especially since they’re said to be “living in a constant state of anxiety and fearing for their lives.”
“They’re always looking over their shoulders and questioning people’s motives,” a separate insider told the outlet. “There is a fear that someone could target them because of who their father is.”
The source added that Kate “really felt” for Eugenie and even “reached out to her,” as she understands “what it is like to live under intense public scrutiny.”
“She feels desperately sorry for both Eugenie and Beatrice,” they continued. “Whatever has happened around them, they are still mothers, wives and daughters trying to live their lives.”
Kate apparently “understands that Beatrice and Eugenie are carrying a huge emotional burden,” and she’s troubled by “the toll it’s taking on them because she can see how frightened they are – she wouldn’t wish that stress on anyone.”
Princess Anne is also fiercely defending her nieces and is reportedly willing to go to “war” with the royal family over their treatment. According to RadarOnline, Anne is becoming “increasingly frustrated” with what she sees as the “unjust” treatment of Beatrice and Eugenie in the aftermath of Andrew’s controversial ties to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein coming to light.
“Anne’s view is that Beatrice and Eugenie have effectively become collateral damage in a situation that was never of their making,” one source told the outlet. “She believes they have carried themselves with remarkable grace through years of uncomfortable headlines and public scrutiny, yet continue to face consequences for controversies linked to other members of the family rather than anything they have personally done.”
The source added that Anne feels there’s a “real sense of injustice about the way the sisters are being basically frozen out of the family now.” Despite remaining loyal to the monarchy and making efforts to uphold their reputations, Beatrice and Eugenie are still “finding doors quietly closing in front of them because of circumstances completely outside their control.”
“Anne is particularly troubled by what she sees as an effort to distance them from key royal occasions and public events,” the source noted. “In her mind, they deserve understanding and support from their relatives, not to be pushed further to the margins. Anne has always been fiercely loyal to family members she believes are being treated unfairly, and this is no exception.”
Those close to Anne claim “she has no intention of staying silent,” especially if she feels Beatrice and Eugenie are being “unjustly sidelined” in royal circles. “Anne is not someone who backs down easily once she has decided a principle is at stake, and she is now essentially at war with many other royals over this,” the source said.
