Buckingham Palace released a statement on behalf of King Charles III to share the news of Princess Eugenie’s pregnancy, putting to rest rumors that the royal family had abandoned Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s daughters.
The king used the joyous occasion to send a message of unity amid continued trolling of Andrew’s daughters, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, over their father’s relationship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Princess Eugenie, who is married to Jack Brooksbank, is expecting her third child this summer, the palace said on Monday.
The King’s message has been seen as a show of support for his nieces, following tabloid reports claiming that Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s relationship with Epstein may have affected their positions within the Windsor family.
While King Charles’ statement is expected to calm rumors about his nieces, Prince William and Kate Middleton’s silence on social media regarding Eugenie’s pregnancy could be used to spread a story of discord within the royal family.
Some observers have noted that while the Prince and Princess of Wales have not shared a public message congratulating Eugenie and her husband, it does not mean the couple have not expressed well wishes privately.
She believes that as long as King Charles is alive and sitting on the British throne, no other royal, including his heir Prince William and Kate Middleton, can make a move against the daughters of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
