Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have laid low, avoiding the swirling questions about their parents, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, and the former Duke and Duchess of York's links to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. But as new revelations continue to surface, a report has suggested the sisters are deciding whether they should speak out publicly and address the scandal so that they can distance themselves from their family's Epstein mess.

According to a report in
Women's Day, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are feeling the pressure to do a sit-down tell-all interview. "Bea and Eugenie have had some extraordinary offers to tell their story, from
Oprah Winfrey to exclusive Netflix deals, and they know it's something they will have to address at some point," a source told the magazine. "It's increasingly important for them to clear their names, but they're still not ready to bad-mouth their parents on TV, especially Beatrice — it's just not in their nature."

Robert Jobson, author of the new book
The Windsor Legacy: A Royal Dynasty of Secrets, Scandal and Survival, recently said Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are struggling with how things have unfolded behind the scenes. "They are pretty torn because they believed [their father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor]," Jobson told
People. Just like the late
Queen Elizabeth II and
King Charles III, Jobson added, "Andrew told them all the same story — that he had done nothing wrong."

But that trust has seemingly shifted for Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. "My understanding is they feel pretty duped by the whole thing," royals author Robert Jobson told People. "I do think they believed their father, and now it has all backfired. I know that Eugenie, especially, has found it very difficult."

Author Andrew Lownie, who released the book Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York in 2025, has called for Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie to be interviewed for another reason altogether. During an appearance on Sky News Australia's The Bolt Report following Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office — which came after emails made public by the U.S. Justice Department appeared to show the former Duke of York sent confidential government information to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein while serving as Britain's trade envoy — Lownie said Sarah Ferguson needs to be investigated, too. "She should certainly be questioned about the misconduct in public office, as should [their] daughters, who accompanied him on many of these trips and used these trips to get contacts which they are now exploiting themselves," the author alleged.
