Royal journalist Victoria Murphy described the emails as “really, really uncomfortable reading.”
The Sisters’ Response and Public Reaction
Reports suggest Princess Eugenie has recently taken some space from her father. A friend told Page Six, “She’s very, very frustrated. Beatrice and Eugenie are in as good spirits as they can be.”
“I would not say they are estranged, that’s not 100% true. I know that Eugenie hasn’t really been around to help with all of the packing. Beatrice has done a lot more, but they’ve got kids and jobs, so it’s very hard.”
As the documents spread online, reactions were divided.
Some defended the sisters, arguing they should not be blamed for their parents’ actions. “Children are not responsible for the actions of their parents,” one commenter wrote, while another added, “These poor girls, a heavy burden. They are victims.”
Others pointed to the complexity of growing up in a royal household. “Even though they were adults at the time, growing up with two parents doing questionable things for a long time is going to teach you it’s normal,” one person observed. “It’s not easy to question that, especially not your parents.”
Still, some took a firmer stance on accountability. “When children inherit their parents’ assets, then they deal with their shortcomings as well,” another commenter wrote.
“You cannot choose your relatives,” one netizen concluded.
As the latest disclosures circulate, the debate over responsibility, proximity, and public perception continues to unfold.
