Eugenie has cut contact with Andrew

It’s being reported that Eugenie has cut all contact with her father, she refused to visit him at Xmas and isn’t speaking to him at all. There was a discussion on Good Morning Britain about whether this was to protect her own image or whether it’s about her own feelings around what Andrew has done and his refusal to apologise.

Beatrice is still in contact with him apparently, so will this cause an issue between them as sisters?

Is Eugenie just doing this to protect her own image or has the penny dropped that Andrew is a disgusting man and she now believes him to be guilty?

What do you think?

There Was something in the media about him though years ago. Some kind of disgrace.

I too think @Maidenjourneyis confusing Pippa’s fil with Eugenie’s fil @Serenster

Suspected rape of a minor in France

Atlanti · 15/03/2026 09:45

Case still being investigated. A 16 year old has claimed she was raped by him in Paris and again at his resort in St Bart’s in 1998 - so is the same age as Pippa now.

It can’t take 8 years to investigate rape.

Maidenjourney · 15/03/2026 15:19

Ah yes, I think I may be confusing the two. Sorry.

It can if the authorities have no interest in reaching a conclusion, for financial/ecoomic reasons.

No it can’t it’s clearly been shelved.

No it hasn’t.

It’s taking so long because David Matthew’s was a ‘person of authority’ over the 16 year old victim when the alleged rapes took place which is a much more serious crime in France than straightforward rape.

Do you have evidence that this case is ongoing?

Do you that it’s not?

Aluna · 15/03/2026 19:37

Ah ok it’s clear now what’s gone on - first Covid delayed the whole thing as it’s a cross border case, and crucially, the case was originally outside the statue of limitations but then the law was changed in 2018 to 30 rather than 20 years so that will have had to have gone through.

In normal circs it wouldn’t take this long even if someone was in a position of authority.

Has this been discussed on these threads to date - that SF in an email to JE that Eugenie (then 19) was just back from a shagging weekend - just as JE was released from his CSA charge:

I've seen it discussed with the unsurprising consensus being that Fergie is crass, creepy and generally gross to be speaking of her own daughter in such terms to anyone let alone a convicted sex offender however much of a supreme friend he might have been.

You’d have to wonder what Jack Brooksbanks’ family think of his in-laws.

I also wondered what the other sister’s DH, who dumped his high-powered fiancée for her, thinks of his investment. He thought he was getting a well-connected Princess, now they’re facing social ostracisation…

Both the SIL's chose to get married (and have subsequently enjoyed strutting along in fake gongs, royal pap walks and property perks ) while controversy swirled around their FIL.

If it's come back to bite their arses there's no-one else to blame.

VictorianChic · 18/03/2026 22:24

The husbands may be regretting their decision to marry money and influence but ditching the wretched sisters now that their prestige is waning would be a bad look when there are kids involved. They’ll probably stick around and just have discreet affairs.

What an appalling comment. Your assumption is that there is no love in either marriage. What a very cynical person you are.

Time for our daily reminder that no one chooses their parents. Are you saying that both of them should have stayed single and not had kids because they lost the lottery when fathers were handed out?

SIL= son-in-law.

While everyone else appears to have grasped this I'll spell it out for those at the back anyway 🙂

I guess I need to repeat myself for your benefit to give you fair chance to reconsider your ridiculous argument, as in your haste to condescend you clearly failed to read properly.

You think they should have remained single because their fathers were “under investigation”?

The husbands no more chose their parents than their wives did.

Why are you being so rude to @CathyorClaire? Her opinion is as valid as anyone else’s, and she is always consistent and never personal.

CathyorClaire · 20/03/2026 09:26

Thanks, jeff 🙂

I really have no idea what Totallyfedupnow is banging on about as I haven't said anything about the SIL's parents Confused

I think perhaps she's the one failing to read properly 😆
