The controversies surrounding Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor have inevitably affected the York family, including his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. Over the last few months, the royal sisters have been forced to navigate massive public scrutiny, even impacting their roles within the royal family. While both Beatrice and Eugenie have been dealing with the situation in their own ways, experts believe that the older sister has felt the impact more deeply. In recent news, it has been revealed that she is reportedly considering a major move overseas that may prevent her dad from visiting her again.

Currently, Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi usually spend their time in the Cotswolds, a massive property that they bought in 2021. However, Edoardo is also the owner of a townhouse located in Notting Hill as well as a residence in New York, and this is where he spends much of his time managing his luxury real estate firm. As reported by the Daily Express, the couple may now be considering moving to the United States in an effort to distance themselves from the ongoing controversy surrounding Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.

Speaking of this, popular royal expert Tom Sykes explained how such a move may make it almost impossible for Beatrice's parents to visit her. He wrote, "The Mail is too polite to mention that such a move would have the effect of making it impossible for their parents to ever visit them, given the desire of Congress to see them testify." He also talked about the reason behind the move, saying it was seen as a way to escape intense public scrutiny, create distance from ongoing controversies surrounding the York family, and give the couple a chance to rebuild their relationship away from the spotlight.

Previously, a source close to Beatrice claimed, "Bea has found the scrutiny very hard, especially the strain of the past few weeks. It has felt as though things have been in freefall, and she's being hammered and bullied by commentators." Revealing how the Princess is dealing with the situation, the person said, "Bea is keeping calm and carrying on. She learnt a lot from her grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. This is a family in turmoil, but Bea is working hard; the juggle of full-time work and being a parent is her main priority, in order to keep herself mentally strong and her life moving," as reported by HELLO Magazine.

Some of Beatrice and Eugenie's close friends have also revealed that the sisters do not see themselves as victims, but believe there is often very little recognition of the personal toll that the situation has taken on them. Meanwhile, the sisters were last seen joining the wider Royal Family during the traditional Christmas Day church service at Sandringham Estate. More recently, there have been reports that indicate that the royal sisters have been informed they will not be joining their relatives at Royal Ascot this year.
