Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are increasingly concerned about their mother Sarah Ferguson’s emotional well-being as she continues to struggle under the weight of renewed attention on her and Prince Andrew’s past ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
A source speaking to Radar Online claimed that the Duchess of York has been visibly distressed, to the point of seeking comfort in an unusual way. According to the insider, Fergie believes she can sense the late Queen Elizabeth II’s presence through the monarch’s beloved corgis, which now live with her. The source said she often speaks to the dogs as though receiving guidance from the Queen’s spirit.
The insider described Sarah as confiding in the dogs while navigating major personal challenges, including the loss of her duchess title and the possibility of leaving Royal Lodge. The source referred to her conversations with the dogs as a sign of emotional strain, saying she seeks comfort by sharing her fears and seeking advice as if the Queen were responding.
Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are said to be deeply troubled not only by their mother’s state but also by their father’s ongoing isolation. Prince Andrew has reportedly retreated into seclusion at Royal Lodge, where he spends much of his time alone after losing his public roles and residence privileges. The insider noted that he often mutters to himself, adding to the sisters’ worries.
The source described the situation as heartbreaking for the princesses, who remain devoted to both parents despite the crises that have engulfed the family over the past year. They are reportedly trying to support their mother through her emotional turmoil while also encouraging their father to stay connected and grounded.
The insider added that the sisters never imagined their parents’ lives would take such a difficult turn. As public scrutiny continues and the Epstein controversy resurfaces, Beatrice and Eugenie are quietly attempting to hold their family together while coping with challenges far removed from their royal upbringing.
