Reports indicate that discussions have been held at the palace regarding the public roles Beatrice and Eugenie should play amid the renewed scrutiny surrounding their parents. Both Andrew and Ferguson have been referenced in documents connected to the Epstein case, though being named in such files does not imply criminal wrongdoing.
Since Andrew’s arrest, Ferguson and her daughters have maintained a low public profile.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams previously told The Express that the sisters may gradually retreat from visible royal duties. He suggested they could step back from charitable roles and maintain a quieter presence moving forward.
At present, no official confirmation has been issued by Buckingham Palace regarding the sisters’ attendance at Royal Ascot. As with many royal matters, much remains speculative, and further clarification may emerge closer to the event.
