Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie have always been in the spotlight, but this week, their family’s troubles hit even closer to home. New emails show Jeffrey Epstein had more contact with the sisters than anyone knew.
Reports say the princesses even had lunch with Epstein in Miami, just days after he left prison for crimes against minors. Other emails suggest they gave tours of Buckingham Palace and met some of Epstein’s friends.
Royal experts say this is awkward for Beatrice, 37, and Eugenie, 35. Some argue they were adults and made choices on their own, while others point out they were just following plans made by their mother, Sarah Ferguson.
Despite the controversy, the princesses have kept busy. Eugenie co-founded the Anti-Slavery Collective, which fights human trafficking. Beatrice runs her own advisory firm, BY-EQ. Both have jobs, families, and charitable work that keep them in the public eye.
But there are challenges. Donations for Eugenie’s charity have dropped sharply since the scandal. Some of their partners in philanthropy are being cautious, worried about optics.
Privately, the princesses still speak to their parents, but publicly, they are keeping distance. They spent Christmas with the Royal Family, not with Andrew and Sarah, showing they are staying loyal to the monarchy while stepping back from their parents’ shadow.
Beatrice and Eugenie are still royals, still in line for succession, and still part of the family. But now, they need to show the world who they are—beyond their parents’ scandal. The question is: can they continue royal life while keeping their own identity intact?
