Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are facing public attention again, but this time, someone has stepped forward to defend them.
The support comes after the announcement of author Andrew Lownie’s upcoming book Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, which is expected to dig into the York family’s controversies.
A source speaking to the Daily Beast praised the two sisters for their loyalty, saying they’ve always stood by their parents — Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson — through very public and difficult times. The insider insisted it’s unfair to criticize them for supporting their family.
They went on to describe Beatrice and Eugenie as “sweet girls” who are aware of their privilege, grateful for it, and try to use it for good. The source also pointed out that both sisters followed the royal family’s advice to get regular jobs, so it’s unfair to attack them for earning their own income.
The insider also mentioned their mother, Sarah Ferguson, noting that she’s tough and has weathered plenty of royal storms before. They brushed off the latest so-called “revelations” in the book, calling them recycled gossip, and pointed out that many of the sources cited are anonymous or no longer alive.
In short: While the new book may stir up old royal drama, Beatrice and Eugenie’s defenders say the sisters have handled their roles with grace and shouldn’t be blamed for simply standing by their parents.
