Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie Barred from Royal Ascot Amid Andrew's Epstein Scandal
•Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie reportedly barred from Royal Ascot due to renewed scrutiny over Prince Andrew’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
•The decision reflects the monarchy's efforts to distance itself from controversy and avoid reputational risk at high-profile events.
•Prince William and Kate Middleton reportedly want to keep their cousins “at arm’s length,” suggesting a broader exclusion from future royal public events.
•Concerns persist that their presence could revive attention on Prince Andrew’s past associations, casting a long shadow over the institution.
•Neither Buckingham Palace nor the princesses' representatives have issued an official statement on the reports.
