King Charles is reportedly being forced to reconsider Princess Beatrice\u2019s hopes of taking on more public royal duties amid Sarah Ferguson\u2019s ongoing Jeffrey Epstein email scandal.<\/p>\n
Before the 2011 emails showing Fergie apologising to the convicted sex offender emerged, there were talks that Beatrice could gradually return to a fuller royal role.<\/p>\n
However, an insider has revealed that Beatrice and her sister Princess Eugenie have been unfairly \u201ctarnished with the same brush\u201d as their parents, leaving them heartbroken. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere had at one stage been a feeling that Bea could have been lined up one day,\u201d they said. \u201cShe’s never put a foot wrong, don’t forget \u2013 and she shouldn’t be punished for the sins of her father.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut the King’s courtiers are concerned Andrew could try to ‘get in via the back door’ by exerting influence over her,\u201d the source told Heat Magazine.<\/i><\/p>\n
\u201cThe King was previously open to striking some type of compromise with Beatrice especially, one that would see her take on more royal responsibility and potentially ease herself back towards a full-time working position within the family,\u201d they continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut that can\u2019t possibly happen now, as some would believe it would be rewarding her father by association and the consensus is that a clean cut with the Yorks \u2013 as far as business and formal invites at the very least \u2013 is what\u2019s necessary.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is horrible for the girls, it\u2019s all crumbling around them so quickly and dramatically. This is just heart-breaking for them and they\u2019re very upset with their mother and father, quite rightly so.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
