Kate Middleton has reportedly distanced herself from Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie amid the ongoing fallout from their father’s scandals. According to a source, the Princess of Wales has allegedly grown apart from the sisters due to the controversy surrounding their father, ex-Prince Andrew.
Although Beatrice and Eugenie have not been directly linked to the scandals, the fallout has continued to attract media scrutiny and has reportedly affected their relationship with other members of the royal family.
Kate Middleton distances herself from Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie amid scandal, per source
Kate Middleton is reportedly keeping her distance from former Prince Andrew’s daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. A royal insider told RadarOnline that the future queen has allegedly “severed what little relationship she had” with the sisters.
However, the source clarified that Kate did not confront the princesses or deliberately cut ties with them, but that the distance between them developed naturally over time.
The insider claimed, “There hasn’t been some dramatic confrontation or explosive falling-out – it has been much quieter than that. The contact has simply disappeared. Kate understands that everything she and William do now is viewed through the prism of them being the future king and queen.”
According to the source, Middleton reportedly feels that every move she and Prince William make is closely scrutinized. As the future heads of the monarchy, the couple is expected to maintain a careful public image, prompting the mother of three to keep her distance from controversial relatives.
While Beatrice and Eugenie have not been accused of any wrongdoing, the scandals surrounding their parents have reportedly placed the sisters in the category of a “complicated relationship.”
“The feeling is that Kate cannot afford to be dragged into another scandal by association,” the insider added. They further claimed that Middleton was never “particularly close” to Eugenie. However, as the princesses are Prince William’s cousins and therefore family, their relationship still mattered to Middleton. Now, the heir’s wife is reportedly focused on prioritizing her husband and their children above all else.
“Kate is extremely conscious of appearances,” sources said. As a result, she would likely avoid any public exchanges or invitations involving the former Yorks. They added, “She doesn’t want to create that ambiguity.”
