Buckingham Palace has not commented on these claims.
Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie Caught in the Fallout
The book’s revelations have reportedly left Andrew’s daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, “utterly mortified.” A source told MailOnline that the sisters are distancing themselves from their father, unsure how their relationship will recover if more damaging details emerge.
Royal expert Ingrid Seward added that the scandal is especially hard for the princesses: “It’s a horrid time. But I’m not surprised they haven’t come out and said anything in his defence. For his girls to show solidarity publicly wouldn’t benefit them in any way.”
What Could Happen Next?
The palace has yet to issue a formal response, but speculation is growing about how the monarchy might handle Andrew in the long term. Royal commentators predict that while King Charles has taken a cautious approach, Prince William may be far stricter if he becomes king.
Author Christopher Wilson suggested William could be “ruthless” toward his uncle, possibly stripping him of remaining titles: “He has hard-nosed ideas about how the royal family needs to appear in the frenzied social media world we now inhabit.”
Still, some experts argue the monarchy would prefer to avoid a public debate in Parliament over Andrew’s titles, as it would generate enormous attention and further damage the family’s reputation.
