Urgent Update: Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are navigating a tumultuous time as their parents face backlash stemming from their connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. This troubling situation comes just as Princess Eugenie marks the anniversary of her marriage to marketing executive Jack Brooksbank this weekend.
Former Royal butler Grant Harrold, who served King Charles III from 2004 to 2011, has provided new insight into the characters of the young royals. Harrold describes Princess Eugenie, aged 35, as “very kind and gentle,” emphasizing the princesses’ politeness and warmth. His observations add a personal layer to the ongoing royal narrative, painting a picture of two young women under pressure.
The turmoil surrounding the royal family is compounded by a recent report detailing Sarah Ferguson‘s “crumbling” home, further complicating the family dynamics. Harrold noted, “Princess Eugenie and her sister Beatrice were always really nice,” recalling their respectful demeanor and close-knit ties to the royal family.
Sources confirm that King Charles is particularly fond of his nieces, expressing a desire to maintain their involvement in family events. “He will encourage them to come to family events,” Harrold stated, highlighting the King’s commitment to including them in private family celebrations.
Currently, Eugenie resides in Ivy Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace, while Beatrice shares a £3.5 million estate in the Cotswolds with her husband, property developer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. Despite their privileged lifestyles, Eugenie recently expressed a desire for independence in a Vogue magazine interview, stating, “We want to show people who we are: working, young, royal women… not afraid of putting ourselves out there.”
However, contrasting views about their upbringing have emerged. An insider shared with the Daily Mail that Beatrice and Eugenie’s privileged background may have contributed to a disconnect with reality. They noted a past incident when Beatrice had her BMW stolen after leaving it unattended, suggesting she was accustomed to having security handle such concerns.
As the public watches closely, the royal sisters must navigate both personal and public challenges, seeking to establish their identities amid familial controversy. With their futures at stake, the spotlight remains firmly on Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, as they strive to define their roles within the royal family.
