Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are reportedly standing by their parents despite the publication of dozens of sorded revalations about their relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The royal sisters, who have been keeping a low profile in recent months, are said to be remaining loyal to them in private despite being “aghast” and “embarrassed” by what the Epstein files have unearted about parents Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson.

An insider told the Daily Mail that Beatrice and Eugenie are staying “loyal to their parents in private while separating themselves in public. They added: “The Yorks are just about holding it together as a family but this has put new strains on their relationships. The last I heard the daughters were still supporting both parents behind the scenes.”

The sisters, who joined the Royal Family at Sandringham this Christmas while their parents stayed away from the spotlight, love their parents, even though they fear being tainted by Andrew and Fergie’s association with Epstein, it has been claimed.

It comes just days after other sources claimed the princesses are “aghast, appalled and embarrassed” by what has emerged in the last few days about their disgraced parents.

Andrew and Fergie featured heavily in the latest batch of documents released by the US Department of Justice relating to the late convicted sex offender.

One photograph appeared to show Andrew kneeling down on all fours next to an unidentified woman on the floor.

Meanwhile, a series of emails, which appeared to be sent by Fergie, saw the former Duchess praising the late convicted US financier, calling him a legend and describing him as the “brother I have always wished for”.

Beatrice and Eugenie are also mentioned in the emails, with one email from Ms Ferguson stating that she is waiting for her youngest daughter to return from a “sh*****g weekend”.

Sources close to the royal sisters originally claimed they find the latest revelations “embarrassing”.

But a royal insider today insisted that the princesses, even though the latest revelation could “constaminate” their own brands.

A source told the outlet: “‘Eugenie, for example, is co-founder of The Anti-Slavery Collective, a charity that campaigns to end modern slavery, which includes sex trafficking.

“How can she do that without saying anything about Epstein, Virginia Giuffre, and this new case of a woman who claims she was trafficked to have sex with Andrew?”

They added: “Beatrice and Eugenie are in a bind. I think they should say something, but I doubt they will because of their need to stay loyal to their parents in private while separating themselves in public.”

Being mentioned in the Epstein files does not suggest any wrongdoing. Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing, while Fergie has insisted that she still stands by her public condemnation of the paedophile.
