US EditionThe Daughters Left Holding the Damage: What the Epstein Files Mean for Beatrice and Eugenie
Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie face ongoing reputational challenges as public trust in the British monarchy declines following Jeffrey Epstein's scandal, with 91% negative views of their father.
- On Jan. 30, the DOJ released Epstein files renewing scrutiny of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, who feel 'aghast' and 'embarrassed', a source said.
- Ferguson's correspondence with Epstein includes a crude 2010 remark about Eugenie and requests for travel help for her daughters, according to the files.
- The DOJ archive includes more than 3 million Epstein records, and Prince Andrew, 65, was stripped of his Prince and Duke of York titles and moved from the 30-room Royal Lodge to a rented cottage.

- Although uninvolved legally, the British monarchy faces reputational risk as a 2025 YouGov poll shows 91% of Britons hold a negative opinion of Andrew, affecting public trust.
