Princess Anne ‘Going to War With Rest of Royal Family’ for ‘Freezing Out Beatrice and Eugenie Over Their Parents’ Epstein Scandal’

Princess Anne is said to be increasingly frustrated by what she views as the marginalization of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie within royal circles, amid continuing fallout from the controversy surrounding their father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and his association with Jeffrey Epstein.

RadarOnline.com can reveal the tension comes after Beatrice, 37, and Eugenie, 36, were notably absent from several high-profile royal occasions in recent months, including the Chelsea Flower Show in London – an event both sisters have regularly attended in previous years.

Their absence followed reports the York sisters would not be included among members of the Royal Family appearing at Royal Ascot this summer.

The developments have fueled speculation about their standing within the monarchy as King Charles, 77, continues efforts to streamline the institution. Andrew, 66, was stripped of military affiliations and royal patronages following the scandal surrounding his friendship with Epstein and is now a royal pariah.

Sources close to royal circles claim Anne, 75, has become one of the strongest advocates for her nieces behind palace walls.

One insider told us: “Anne’s view is that Beatrice and Eugenie have effectively become collateral damage in a situation that was never of their making. She believes they have carried themselves with remarkable grace through years of uncomfortable headlines and public scrutiny, yet continue to face consequences for controversies linked to other members of the family rather than anything they have personally done.
