Princess Eugenie distances from mother Sarah Ferguson over Epstein scandal

Princess Eugenie has publicly distanced herself from her mother, Sarah Ferguson, amid ongoing fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. According to British media reports, the pressure surrounding Prince Andrew’s past connections to Epstein is prompting Eugenie to create space between herself and Ferguson.

Eugenie’s husband, Jack Brooksbank, says he will support his wife while keeping a low profile to protect his own business interests. Insiders say Ferguson has suggested moving in with the couple, but they have rejected the idea, citing concerns over responsibility and reputational risk. Eugenie’s sister, Princess Beatrice, is reported to remain supportive of both parents, while her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, is also wary of potential impacts on his real‑estate development firm.

The family controversy highlights continuing scrutiny of the royal household’s ties to the Epstein case and the personal decisions of senior members in response to media pressure.
