Andrew Mountbatten Windsor was stripped of his princely title after Virginia Giuffre's assault allegations against him resurfaced. Now that ex-prince is out of the royal fold, royal experts wonder how his downfall will affect Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice's public lives."Beatrice and Eugenie were famously close to their mother, Sarah, whose ups and downs were chronicled by the world's media, often affectionately," Richard Fitzwilliams told Daily Express. "Eugenie did not put up a post on her mother's recent birthday in contrast to previous years. They were both recently out of the country during part of the recent crisis affecting their parents."

"This (the latest scandals) was a worldwide humiliation for Andrew and Sarah Ferguson," Richard Fitzwilliams continued, referring to how Ferguson was also slammed for her friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. "The sisters use the titles they were given as they undoubtedly open doors and, with careers of their own, have done some charitable work which has been well received. They also reportedly benefit from grace and favour lodgings despite not being full-time working royals."_
According to the expert, the princesses will need to be cautious around their parents."Obviously, there will be loyalty to their parents, but what should be especially concerning are reports that the emails which have proved both of them to be liars and led to their disgrace are likely to be the tip of the iceberg," Richard Fitzwilliams continued.

"To keep what they (Beatrice and Eugenie) have (including charity patronages), they need to ensure there are no damaging photo opportunities," Richard Fitzwilliams continued. Whatever they think privately, they need to ensure that they are not photographed with either of their parents foreseeably."_
Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have yet to comment on Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and Sarah Ferguson's downfall."They must obviously distance themselves publicly from both parents," Richard Fitzwilliams said.
