Princess Eugenie has reportedly caused concern within royal circles after making a high-profile appearance linked to a luxury Middle Eastern business venture, despite ongoing scrutiny surrounding the York family.
'Way too soon': Why pregnant Princess Eugenie's latest business-linked appearance has reportedly left King Charles III deeply 'jarred' amid the York family scandal Princess Eugenie has found herself at the centre of fresh royal scrutiny over a move that has reportedly left her uncle King Charles uneasy.
Princess Eugenie has reportedly caused concern within royal circles after making a high-profile appearance linked to a luxury Middle Eastern business venture, despite ongoing scrutiny surrounding the York family. The 36-year-old princess, who announced she is expecting her third child on May 4, has largely remained out of the spotlight in the wake of the fallout surrounding her father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
The scandal intensified following the release of the Epstein files, which detailed the extent of Andrew's relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Both Eugenie and her sister, Princess Beatrice, 37, were also mentioned in the files, although mention alone does not imply wrongdoing. Now, only weeks after her pregnancy announcement- which prompted Buckingham Palace to release a statement saying King Charles was"delighted" by the news- Eugenie has attracted fresh attention after attending a promotional event in London for Discovery Dunes, an ultra-luxury Dubai-based golf and property development.
The princess was joined by her husband, Jack Brooksbank, 40, who is understood to be involved in marketing and sales for the multi-million-dollar golf real estate project. According to royal commentator Barbara Davies, writing for the Scottish Daily Mail, the appearance has not gone unnoticed by the King.
"Last month, the King gave a clear indication of support for his nieces when he asked officials to make a formal announcement about Eugenie’s third pregnancy, saying that he – tellingly, there was no mention of Queen Camilla – was ‘delighted’ with the news," Davies wrote. "But barely three weeks later, Eugenie, I am told, promptly blotted her copybook, when she attended a promotional event in London for Discovery Dunes, an ultra-luxury Dubai-based golfing and real-estate development, exactly the kind of project that her father, whose love of golf, money and the UAE apparently had no bounds, would have once become involved with.
" Davies went on to quote a royal source who claimed the timing of Eugenie’s appearance had unsettled the monarch. "Her husband, Jack Brooksbank, is involved in the project but, as the Daily Mail’s royal source put it to me: 'Seeing Eugenie following in her father's footsteps, and in a high-profile way so soon after the King publicly put a metaphorical arm around her shoulder by organising a Palace announcement of her pregnancy, has jarred him'.
" The appearance has also renewed discussion about the York family's longstanding ties to the Middle East. Both Eugenie and Beatrice have spent years building professional and charitable relationships across the region on the back of their parents' connections.
Questions surrounding those connections have intensified following claims by royal author Andrew Lownie that Prince William sought greater transparency around the sisters' business interests. the Prince of Wales requested that the sisters undergo an audit of their financial affairs"I think they were asked if they would have their material audited by William, and they refused to do so, which doesn’t send out very encouraging signs," Lownie said on his podcast, The Lownie Report.
"We know they were pretty firmly entwined . The daughters were taken on all the trade trips at extra cost to the public purse.
"They've built up a very useful contacts book that they're using in their own business careers- they're both, in effect, employed to deal with client relations. ""They've got plenty of occasions where they've been out promoting their father’s businesses abroad, particularly in the Middle East. " The historian also alleged that some of the sisters' charitable work in the region appeared to be"laundering the reputations of some pretty dubious characters".
