Prince William and Kate Middleton’s quiet support for Beatrice and Eugenie

Prince William may be reaching his limit with Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s ongoing controversies, which continue to tarnish the royal family’s image.

However, sources reveal that the future king still holds “special sympathy” for his cousins, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, who have unfairly suffered from their parents’ scandals.

According to Closer magazine, both the Prince and Princess of Wales understand that it is “not fair” for the York sisters to bear the consequences of Andrew and Fergie’s actions. Princess Kate has reportedly been advocating for the sisters after receiving a personal plea from them.

“It’s no secret that Kate and William have to tread very carefully around the issue of Prince Andrew,” an insider shared. “That hasn’t always been easy for Beatrice and Eugenie, who are deeply loyal daughters.”

Despite the tension, William and Kate have “managed to keep their personal connection intact” with Beatrice and Eugenie. 

Still, patience is running thin as the Duke of York remains mired in scandal, from his ties with Jeffrey Epstein to his settlement with Virginia Giuffre, while Fergie’s reputation took a hit after calling Epstein a “steadfast, generous and supreme friend.”
