The latest release of the Jeffrey Epstein files has sent shockwaves through the British Monarchy. In a massive dump of over three million documents, new details show that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew) sent personal photos of his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, to the convicted sex offender. This revelation has sparked public outrage, as the two innocent princesses are once again pulled into the dark shadow of their father’s disgraced past.
A Father’s Betrayal of Trust
According to the documents released by the US Department of Justice, the photos were part of a larger exchange between Andrew and Epstein. While many of the files focus on the former prince’s own conduct, the inclusion of his daughters has changed the tone of the conversation.
The files include an email from 2010 sent by Andrew’s then-private secretary on behalf of Sarah Ferguson. The email invited Epstein to Andrew’s 50th birthday party at St. James's Palace. It explicitly stated that "Beatrice, Eugenie, and I" would love for him to attend. This suggests that the princesses were used, perhaps unknowingly, to maintain a bridge between the Royal Family and a known predator.
The "Collateral Damage" of the York Family
Royal experts now describe Beatrice and Eugenie as "collateral damage." The sisters have never been accused of any wrongdoing. They have worked hard to build their own lives, careers, and families. However, these new files make it harder for them to escape the "toxic brand" of their parents.
Experts say the princesses are "innocent victims" of their father's choices. The latest documents show that even after Epstein’s first conviction in 2008, the York family continued to communicate with him.
Beatrice and Eugenie were mentioned in friendly terms in emails to Epstein.
Photos of the daughters were shared with Epstein as if he were a close family friend.
Invitations were extended to Epstein for private royal events where the princesses were present.
Disturbing Images and Secret Dinners
The file dump also includes disturbing photos of Andrew himself. One image appears to show the former prince lying across the laps of several women at Sandringham, with Ghislaine Maxwell smiling in the background. Other files suggest Andrew stayed at Epstein’s New York home for an "intimate dinner" just months after Epstein was released from prison.
For Beatrice and Eugenie, these revelations are a nightmare. They have spent years trying to maintain a sense of normalcy. Beatrice is a mother and a hard-working member of the extended royal circle. Eugenie is known for her extensive charity work. Yet, every time a new file is unsealed, their names are printed alongside one of history's most notorious criminals.
The Impact on the Monarchy
King Charles III has already taken steps to distance the Crown from his brother. In late 2025, the King began the formal process of stripping Andrew of his remaining titles and honors. Andrew is no longer allowed to use the style of "Prince" or "His Royal Highness." He has also been pressured to vacate the Royal Lodge in Windsor.
However, the King faces a difficult balance. While he wants to protect the institution, he is also an uncle to Beatrice and Eugenie. The princesses remain close to Prince William and Princess Catherine, who are said to feel great sympathy for their cousins.
A Legacy of Scandal
The "York brand" is now seen as a major liability for the British Royal Family. While the public largely feels sorry for the daughters, the connection remains. The fact that their father saw fit to send their photos to a man like Jeffrey Epstein is, for many, the ultimate proof of his poor judgment.
As more files are reviewed by lawyers and journalists, the pressure on the York family will only grow. Beatrice and Eugenie continue to lie low, focusing on their private lives while the world dissects the latest evidence of their father’s "grim" associations.
