Beatrice and Eugenie puzzled by exile as ‘they’ve done nothing wrong’ | Royal | News
The files detailed how Sarah took her daughters to see the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in the US just five days after his release from prison for child sex crimes. In 2009, Beatrice and Eugenie were 19 and 20 years old, respectively.
The files do not indicate that the sisters have done any wrongdoing.
A friend of Beatrice and Eugenie told the Mail that they still “have a great sense of public duty” despite the situation they find themselves in.
They added: “They were always happy to carry out engagements when asked by their grandmother [Queen Elizabeth II] or by other members of the family. They don’t see why they should slope away like criminals when they’ve done nothing wrong.”
Eugenie, 35, recently stepped down from her role as patron of British-based charity Anti-Slavery International.
As reported by The Observer, Eugenie’s profile has been removed from the charity’s website, and her role with the organisation has ended.
When Andrew and Sarah lost their titles last year, it was understood that Beatrice and Eugenie’s royal standing would remain unaffected.
