A royal biographer claims that senior royals can't decide what to do with princesses Eugenie and Beatrice, as well as their mother Sarah Ferguson,Andrew Lownie – author of Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York – told Woman's Day that King Charles and Prince William are at odds over what to do about the York sisters and their mum, dubbing it"a problem" within the family.

According to Lownie, the dilemma sees Prince William, Queen Camilla and Princess Kate Middleton on one side and King Charles on the other.
“Charles is a bit weaker and thinks, ‘Oh well, that you know the girls can’t be blamed, they’re okay’,” Lownie explains. The royal biographer added that if Beatrice and Eugenie “were sensible” they would “just cut loose themselves” and give up their royal titles now.
However, Lownie says that the move could be bad for business, seeing as though their careers are based upon"being a princess".
"It’s all client relations, it’s all about bringing in people that they meet through their royal connections. ”police announced that they were launching an investigation into Andrew over potential sexual offences. Thames Valley Police detectives revealed that they were broadening their probe into the former Duke of York's time in public office to consider other offences that he was accused of in the Epstein files, including abuse of position, sexual misconduct and corruption.
