Princess Eugenie has severed all contact with her father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, in a stark escalation of family tensions that coincides with his impending eviction from Royal Lodge. The 35-year-old royal, known for her advocacy work against sex trafficking through The Anti-Slavery Collective, has drawn a firm line amid ongoing fallout from Andrew’s association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Sources close to the family describe the estrangement as absolute, with no communication whatsoever, leaving the former Duke of York “devastated” as he prepares to vacate the historic Windsor mansion he has called home for over two decades.

The rift reportedly deepened following the release of further Epstein-related documents late in 2025, which included uncomfortable images and renewed scrutiny of Andrew’s past connections. Eugenie, who has long championed victims of exploitation, is said to be particularly angered by her father’s continued refusal to issue a public apology to Epstein’s survivors. A source told the Mail on Sunday: “There is no contact at all, nothing. It’s Brooklyn Beckham level – she has completely cut him off.” The comparison evokes the high-profile estrangement between David and Victoria Beckham’s son Brooklyn and his family, underscoring the severity of the break.

Eugenie did not visit her father over the Christmas period, nor did she engage in any communication during what should have been a family-focused time. It remains unclear whether any words were exchanged during the christening of her niece Athena Mapelli Mozzi in December, though reports suggest limited interaction if any. In contrast, her older sister Princess Beatrice has adopted a more balanced approach, attempting to maintain ties with both her father and the wider royal family. Beatrice invited Andrew to Athena’s christening, though he reportedly skipped the post-ceremony pub gathering. A source noted: “Beatrice is trying to walk the fine line of not cutting her father off and yet remaining close with the Royal Family. They aren’t exactly in regular and close contact at the moment, but Eugenie isn’t trying to walk that line. She’s not speaking to him.”

The estrangement arrives at a particularly vulnerable moment for Andrew. In October 2025, following discussions with King Charles III, he was stripped of all royal titles and honors due to persistent scandals linked to Epstein and allegations of sexual assault by Virginia Giuffre, which he has repeatedly denied. The title revocation triggered the end of his lease on Royal Lodge, the 30-room Grade II-listed mansion on the Windsor estate where he and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson have resided since 2008. Andrew served the required 12 months’ notice on October 30, 2025, and must vacate by January 25, 2026. Removal lorries were spotted at the property in mid-January, with belongings—including valuable artwork—transferred to a secure South London warehouse under 24-hour guard.

Andrew’s relocation plans involve a temporary stay in a smaller property on the King’s Sandringham estate in Norfolk, followed by a move to Marsh Farm in Wolferton once renovations conclude around Easter. Workers have erected a two-meter wooden barrier around parts of the site for privacy, alongside new security lighting and construction activity visible on the grounds. The downsizing marks a significant reduction in circumstances for the former Duke, who has lived rent-free at Royal Lodge for 22 years. Sarah Ferguson, 66, will not accompany him to Marsh Farm or move in with Beatrice at her Cotswolds residence. Sources indicate she is “ready to spread her wings” and may consider options including Eugenie’s home in Portugal or other arrangements while searching for a new property in the Windsor area or beyond.

The family dynamics reflect broader royal realignments under King Charles’s streamlined monarchy. Andrew’s fall from grace has isolated him further, with limited public appearances and no official role. Eugenie’s decision to cut contact aligns with her public persona as an advocate for vulnerable people, particularly through her work combating modern slavery and human trafficking. Her organization, The Anti-Slavery Collective, focuses on education, policy influence, and survivor support—causes that stand in stark contrast to the allegations surrounding her father’s past associations.

Beatrice, 37, continues to navigate her position more cautiously, maintaining visibility within the royal fold while preserving some connection to her father. Both sisters retain their HRH status and princess titles, unaffected by Andrew’s demotion. Their presence at Sandringham for the Christmas service—without their parents—highlighted a united front among younger royals amid the ongoing controversy.

Andrew’s isolation extends beyond family. He has reportedly retreated into a “bubble,” avoiding newspapers and external commentary. The loss of contact with Eugenie compounds his personal setbacks, as she was once seen as one of his closest allies within the family. Public sympathy remains limited, with the focus shifting to accountability for Epstein’s victims and the broader implications for the monarchy’s reputation.

As removal preparations accelerate and the January 25 deadline approaches, the saga underscores the enduring consequences of past associations. For Eugenie, the choice reflects a commitment to personal values over familial obligation. For Andrew, it represents another layer of loss in a series of demotions and displacements. The royal family’s future will continue to evolve under Charles’s leadership, with figures like Eugenie and Beatrice balancing legacy, advocacy, and loyalty in an increasingly scrutinized institution.

The coming weeks will reveal more about Andrew’s transition to Sandringham and Sarah’s next steps. Whether reconciliation occurs remains uncertain, but the current silence speaks volumes about the toll of unresolved scandals on even the closest bonds.
