Sources say the sisters remain close to both of their parents but are now focusing primarily on protecting the privacy and security of their own young families.
Friends claim they have largely stepped back from public appearances and social life as the situation continues to unfold.
Meanwhile, Andrew has reportedly remained at the Sandringham estate while authorities review newly released material, and Sarah Ferguson has kept a low public profile following the emergence of additional emails.
Those messages appear to reveal a close relationship between Sarah and Epstein, with some emails showing her asking for financial help or referring to him as a source of support. In one message from 2010 she wrote, “I am feeling very traumatised and alone. I am wanting to work for you at organising your houses [sic].”
Another message asked, “When are you going to employ me,” adding, “Phew.. you still love me.”
As more documents surface and the York sisters continue to be mentioned in the correspondence, the entire family remains under close public and media scrutiny.
