Prince Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, have been involved in scandal after scandal. The latest, and the one that seems to have been the last nail in the coffin of their public relationship with the British royal family, was an email leak which revealed Ferguson apologized to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein after publicly condemning him. But so far, their scandals have not touched their daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.

The Daily Mail is reporting that although the two take pride in being “working, young, royal women” balancing their royal duties with work and motherhood, their “rarified” upbringing has played a large role in making them “just as entitled as their parents.”

All of this is reportedly due to their parents’ decisions, parents whom the two still stand by despite their controversies. In fact, the outlet claims that the sisters say they draw inspiration from the “strength inside” their mother, Sarah Ferguson, and remain protective of their father, despite the Epstein scandal.

Similarly, reports indicate that both Andrew and Sarah believe their daughters “deserve” the life of privilege they live, without the burden of royal duties. That’s why they’ve taken them with them across the world, and introduced them to their “shady” friends.

“They were never going to be working royals but have benefitted from their family connection. Andrew introduced them to many of his business contacts and foreign royals. They and Fergie have become friends with some shady people” the Daily Mail’s royal source said.

“Beatrice and Eugenie grew up in this rarefied world in which there was always someone to do everything for you,” the source added. “That was illustrated when Beatrice had her BMW stolen in 2009 after leaving it unlocked with the car keys in the ignition. I think she was used to her police protection officer looking after such things.”

As for their royal duties, the source also said, “Whether you believe it was their decision [to not be working royals] or it was them and their father putting a brave face on things, he and they said they wanted careers instead of a life of ribbon-cutting. Andrew maintained it was their decision.”

This all comes after The Times reported that King Charles would keep both Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie at arm’s length after the new controversy their parents were involved in, and wanted Prince Andrew and Fergie to be “invisible” at future gatherings, including their family Christmas celebrations. And if this was mostly because of their parents, these new reports are unlikely to move the needle in the Princesses’ favor.

Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, recently spoke about the sisters’ relationship with their mom to the Daily Mail: “They probably knew what a state she was in when that email was sent 14 years ago. I think their first instinct will be to protect her. They’ve got no alternative but to support her even though they’ve already had to put up with a lot.”

Whether the rest of the family will support them all remains to be seen.
