While he remains hidden, life goes on and that is particularly true for his daughters Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice. His oldest daughter Beatrice gave birth to her first child on Saturday while he was reportedly firmly ensconced at his mother’s Balmoral estate.
How are his daughters likely to be feeling over Andrew’s latest, and potentially largest, scandal? They seem to be taking their cue from their reclusive father, keeping things on the down low.
Royal Family News – Princess Beatrice Is A New Mom
Beatrice gave birth on Saturday, but the news was not announced until Monday. To date there has been no further announcement about the newest royal baby, and her name is unknown.
When Beatrice was married during the Covid lockdown, the ceremony was necessarily small, but one would be hard pressed to find evidence of Andrew’s attendance. There were pictures circulated of the big day, but Andrew was nowhere to be seen.
That is in keeping with the palace’s decision to mothball Andrew from public life and their social media has been scrubbed of his name and likeness.
In a suit filed in New York, Virginia Roberts Giuffre accuses Andrew of raping her three times while she was a minor. Both had ties to the infamous dead convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. His team has now admitted that they have been successfully served with papers in the case. According to Reuters Andrew must respond to the suit in 21 days or he could face a default judgment.
Prince Andrew Has Not Been Seen
In the meantime Andrew remains a ghost figure. This summer Princess Eugenie could have used his support after pictures of her husband romping with bikini clad girls emerged. She was at home taking care of their infant and first child, August at the time.
Instead, it was her mother Sarah Ferguson who talked to the media, defending Jack Brooksbank’s behavior. According to Sarah, cavorting with half naked women on a sailboat with his wife nowhere in sight was a case of ‘nothing to see here.’
Sarah, not Andrew, defended her SIL by saying he was just doing his job as a liquor company representative. Whatever you say, Sarah.
