All About Prince Andrew's Bond With Royal Daughters Eugenie & Beatrice

Prince Andrew's connection with his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie has always been strong. We'll delve into their past relationship, see how the three have navigated their journey together.

Prince Andrew and his wife Sarah Ferguson finalized their divorce in 1996 following their initial separation in 1992. Unlike many divorced couples, Andrew and Sarah maintained a remarkably close relationship. Surprisingly, they continued living together at Andrew's residence, Royal Lodge, and jointly raised their daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, under the same roof.

In 2016, Princess Eugenie talked about how her family is an integral part of her life, especially her mother, Sarah Ferguson, and her father, Prince Andrew. Eugenie described her father as the "rock of the family" and emphasized leaning on her mom and sister, Princess Beatrice, during challenging times, and referred to her dad as the family's "rock."

In July 2019, she took to Instagram to celebrate what would have been her parents' 33rd wedding anniversary. She thanked them for being great friends and for raising both sisters together.

Prince Andrew has always been very protective of his royal position. He made sure his daughters, Eugenie and Beatrice, were called princesses, unlike his sister Anne's kids, who don't have titles.

The Daughters of Prince Andrew, Princess Eugenie, and Princess Beatrice have held a less prominent position within the royal family compared to Prince William and Prince Harry. Over time, their roles within the institution have diminished, and both princesses pursued professional careers outside of their royal status, as reported by 'Good Housekeeping'

This change aligns with Prince Charles' aim to reduce the number of active royals and could also be linked to Andrew's legal issues concerning the sexual abuse lawsuit.

Princess Beatrice and husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi joyfully welcomed their first child, Sienna Elizabeth, in September 2021. While many family members joined the celebration, Prince Andrew was notably absent during the birth.

Unlike his absence during Sarah Ferguson's pregnancy with Beatrice, Andrew's nonattendance at Sienna's birth in London was due to different circumstances. Reportedly, he was at the royal estate Balmoral, trying to avoid legal notices from Virginia Giuffre's legal team, who planned to serve him for sexual abuse and assault allegations.

Both Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice haven't publicly commented on the allegations against their father, Prince Andrew, but the 'Telegraph's' Camilla Tominey reported that "both remain very much on the side of their darling 'Papa'."
