‘Horrific': New book exposes claim about Prince Andrew's daughters Beatrice and Eugenie
Don't miss out on the headlines from Royals. Followed categories will be added to My News. Prince Andrew's daughters are thought to be garnering sympathy from friends after becoming collateral damage in a new book about the ousted royal and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson. A new book by royal biographer Andrew Lownie, titled The Rise and Fall of the House of York, has revealed some embarrassing titbits about life within the family who have been stricken by controversy for decades. Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie with Prince Edward's wife, Sophie. Picture: AFP. In the book, the author claims that the disgraced Duke of York forced his and Ferguson's daughters into official trips and business deals in the Middle East. These trips eventually led to aiding both Beatrice and Eugenie in kickstarting their own careers as the pair are not working royals and so therefore expected to make their own money. Beatrice has an AI business while her sister, Eugenie, 35, is a director at art gallery Hauser and Wirth. 'All they have ever done is stand by their parents in the most horrific public circumstances,' a source close to the Princesses told The Daily Beast's Tom Sykes. 'I don't think it's fair to criticise them for (their parents),' said the source. 'They're sweet girls who understand that they are immensely privileged, and have always been grateful for the privilege they've had, and have tried to use it to do the right thing.' The insider added that the monarchy doesn't support either of the sisters outside of supplying them both with homes inside the palace, which are paid for by King Charles. 'They were told to get jobs by the firm and they did that, so it seems unfair to attack them for making money,' the source added. The Duke of York walks with his daughter Princess Beatrice.

New book reveals shocking age Prince Andrew lost his virginity
Prince Andrew lost his virginity aged 11, according to a startling claim made in a new biography. The Duke of York, now 65, is the subject of a bombshell book 'Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York,' which has aired a litany of damning allegations about the ousted royal in the wake of controversy over his relationship with dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The book, which was written by renowned royal biographer Andrew Lownie, attempts to uncover when Andrew became 'obsessed with women', pinpointing it back to his premature sexual experiences. According to a chapter titled 'Randy Andy,' the prince had his first sexual experience aged just 8 before losing his virginity at 11.

It comes after another damning excerpt was leaked this week pertaining to Andrew's links to Epstein, who died aged 66 in a Brooklyn jail in 2019. It included allegations Prince Andrew met Epstein years earlier than he claimed, that they had 'shared women', and that Epstein once said the duke was 'perverted animal in the bedroom' and 'the only person I have met who is more obsessed with p–y than me.' In 2019, Andrew told the BBC during his infamous Newsnight interview he first met Epstein in 1999, but Lownie alleges that Andrew's former private secretary Alastair Watson confirmed the duo were introduced in 'the early 1990s'. 4 The royal has not yet responded to allegations made in the book.
