Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor Reportedly Blames Sarah Ferguson as Daughters Keep Their Distance

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor reportedly believes his former wife, Sarah Ferguson, is turning their daughters against him as Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie maintain their distance. The claims come from an unnamed source quoted in a report about the family’s strained relationships. The source alleged that Andrew is angry with Ferguson and says she has influenced the sisters. According to the account, Beatrice and Eugenie have seen their mother but have not visited their father. The insider described the daughters as caught between their parents, while claiming they blame Andrew for the situation surrounding the family. The report says the sisters may be closer to Ferguson but still have concerns about their mother’s role in the wider difficulties. The source suggested that Beatrice and Eugenie want her to acknowledge the part she played and understand how precarious their position has become. Ferguson, the insider claimed, does not see matters that way. Andrew’s daughters are not said to be closing the door on him permanently. The source portrayed them as worried that he might act defiantly or do something rash, which they fear could create further trouble for him and for them. Those descriptions are attributed to the insider and have not been independently substantiated in the article. The report frames the sisters as trying to navigate the fallout from their parents’ circumstances without wanting to take sides. It also says both parents’ actions have affected them, while the source criticized Andrew and Ferguson for being preoccupied with their own concerns. The claims follow a period of public upheaval for the family. The article says Andrew and Ferguson lost their titles and were evicted from Royal Lodge nearly a year earlier, amid attention over their associations with Jeffrey Epstein. The source’s account presents the daughters’ distance as a consequence of those tensions, but offers no direct comment from Andrew, Ferguson, Beatrice or Eugenie.
