In newly released files by the U.S. Department of Justice, it's revealed that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor sent photos of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie to Jeffrey Epstein in 2011 and 2012 — after the criminal was convicted of procuring a child for prostitution in 2008.

In the photos obtained by
Daily Express, Princess Beatrice is seen with her hand on her hip as she appears to climb a mountain. In the shot of Princess Eugenie, she's riding a bike during a charity event. The snaps are part of a holiday card that reads, "Wishing you much joy and happiness and this time and for the year ahead."

Sarah Ferguson also spoke about Princess Eugenie to Jeffrey Epstein after he asked the former Duchess of York when she and her youngest daughter would be visiting New York. "Not sure yet. Just waiting for Eugenie to come back from a shagging weekend!!" she wrote, referring to the then-19-year-old spending time with her now-husband, Jack Brooksbank.

After Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson were stripped of their titles and evicted from Royal Lodge over their connection to Jeffrey Epstein, their daughters are reportedly struggling with their new reality. "The Yorks are an extremely close-knit family. The disgrace of Sarah Ferguson has followed that of Andrew, who has become an international pariah," royal expert
Richard Fitzwilliams told
Daily Express. "Princess Beatrice and
Princess Eugenie will find their parents'
predicament devastating."
