A source claims that Prince William is growing “deeply worried” about his father, King Charles. The concern comes as fresh tension surrounds the York family and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. The controversy involving their parents, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, stems from renewed scrutiny over their past Jeffrey Epstein ties.
Why sources claim Prince William wants his cousins to distance themselves from their parents
Prince William is reportedly urging Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice to choose between loyalty to their parents and their place within the royal family. The disclosure follows the York sisters’ London appearance with Sarah Ferguson on October 29. Their first joint outing in six months.
The reason behind the royal heir’s alleged stance toward his cousins may lie in his worry for his father. In remarks made to New Idea, well-placed sources disclosed, “William is deeply worried about Charles, and is aware of how much this all affects him. Charles seems to be struggling a lot more than he’s letting on, and the last thing William wanted is for his father to be dealing with more York drama.” According to the insider, Prince William and King Charles had been considering bringing the sisters back into the royal fold. However, their recent public appearance with their mother reportedly disappointed William and complicated those discussions.
The source further noted, “It’s not an easy decision for Beatrice and Eugenie, but if they want to maintain ties to the royal family, they cannot be caught up in their parents’ scandals.” The insider claimed William had made his position clear, suggesting that he expects his cousins to distance themselves from their parents’ controversies if they want to maintain their royal connections.
The insider noted Prince William remains steadfast against his aunt and uncle, even while disagreeing with his father. His relationship with Beatrice and Eugenie could face further strain as both princesses balance family loyalty with royal duties.
Per the outlet, Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice are now working with their spouses, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and Jack Brooksbank. Their goal is to ensure neither their own families nor the broader royal circle faces further public humiliation.
