A reported account says there is tension involving Sarah Ferguson (“Fergie”), Prince Andrew, and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, the husband of Princess Beatrice. Andrew Lownie claims Sarah “never approved” of Beatrice’s husband, and he adds that Mapelli Mozzi is “appalled” and encourages Beatrice to keep distance from Andrew and Fergie.
The articles also say that Princess Beatrice and her sister Princess Eugenie appear to limit public contact with their parents, describing this as a move to protect their careers and public reputations. The reporting attributes these assertions to Mr Lownie, rather than presenting statements from those involved.
Across the two outlets, the focus is on alleged family strain and changing public positioning. Both sources frame the claims around a broader context of controversy involving Andrew and Fergie, but neither provides independent evidence or direct commentary from the individuals named.
