Royal watchers are speculating about a possible rift between Princess Eugenie and her mother Sarah Ferguson after the royal noticeably failed to acknowledge the Duchess of York’s 66th birthday on social media this week.
Ferguson, who quietly celebrated her birthday on Wednesday, is currently facing fresh backlash over resurfaced emails she sent to Jeffrey Epstein in 2011.
In the messages, she reportedly called the disgraced financier her “supreme friend” and apologized for publicly criticizing him.
While a spokesperson insisted the emails were written out of fear of a potential lawsuit, the damage appears to have been done.
Eugenie, 35, who has publicly celebrated her mother’s birthday in previous years, stayed silent this time, sparking rumors of tension behind palace doors.
