Beatrice and Eugenie banned from Royal Ascot over Epstein scandal
Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie have reportedly been excluded from attending Royal Ascot and other upcoming public engagements. Palace officials allegedly made the decision following the recent arrest of their father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and ongoing scrutiny regarding the family’s historical financial connections to Jeffrey Epstein. Sources suggest the Prince of Wales has advised senior royals to distance themselves from the sisters to protect the monarchy's reputation during this period of heightened controversy.
