Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie have been mentioned in the latest Epstein files, though the references do not indicate wrongdoing. The royal sisters are caught up in the scandal due to their parents, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, who had a close relationship with convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
Andrew has faced arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office over claims he shared sensitive information with Epstein. Ferguson remains out of public view after leaving Royal Lodge. However, Beatrice and Eugenie have continued their royal duties, spending Christmas with King Charles. Eugenie, founder of the Anti Slavery Collective, is said to have cut ties with Andrew, while Beatrice was seen horse riding with him shortly before his banishment.
Royal author Andrew Lownie told the Mirror that the daughters were "deeply involved" in the same social circle as Epstein, noting they did not raise concerns at the time. Emails from 2011 show Ferguson telling Epstein that Beatrice believed he should be allowed to move on after his prison sentence. Another exchange in 2010 shows Epstein asking if the sisters could greet a visitor, with Ferguson replying that Beatrice was in London with her father.
After Epstein's release, he claimed Ferguson brought Beatrice and Eugenie, then aged 20 and 19, to celebrate. A source close to the family said none of them recall that trip. The files also show Epstein's assistant arranging flights and a car for the three during a Miami trip in 2009.
