Andrew's daughters share wish to join royal family's Christmas gathering

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have finally offered a glimpse into where they stand with the royal family as their parents’ scandals continue to cast a long shadow.

Despite Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson being distanced from official royal life due to their ties to Jeffrey Epstein, their daughters remain firmly within King Charles’ good books. The sisters were even invited to Princess Kate’s annual Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey — though neither attended.

Instead, they sent their support from afar. While Beatrice isn’t on Instagram, Eugenie took the lead by reposting Kensington Palace’s invitation card on her Stories.

“Wish Bea and I could’ve been celebrating tonight with our family,” she wrote. She didn’t address the reason for their absence, but it’s likely the sisters chose to stay away to avoid their parents’ controversy overshadowing the event.

Eugenie added a warm message for the Princess of Wales, writing: “Wishing @princessofwales such a special evening at her incredible carol service. What an amazing message of love and hope.”

It marks the first time the York sisters have shared a direct public message to a senior royal since their father — and by extension their mother — lost all his titles, including Prince and Duke of York, among others.
