Royal Exile: Beatrice and Eugenie Barred from Ascot
1 Mar
Summary
- Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie will not attend Royal Ascot this year.
- Their absence follows ex-Prince Andrew's arrest linked to Jeffrey Epstein.
- Beatrice was surprised by the decision, feeling blindsided by the news.
Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, along with their mother Sarah Ferguson, are maintaining a low profile following the arrest of ex-Prince Andrew in connection with Jeffrey Epstein.
In a significant development, the royal sisters have reportedly been excluded from attending the Royal Ascot this year. This prestigious event, a long-standing tradition for the British royal family since 1711, serves as a display of their connections to horse racing.
A source indicated that the princesses were informed of their ineligibility to attend, with Beatrice reportedly taking the news hardest and feeling blindsided.
Despite this exclusion, Beatrice was recently observed on a ski vacation in Gstaad, Switzerland, with her husband and children shortly before her father's arrest. Her presence there surprised some given the family's circumstances.
