Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have been navigating one of the most turbulent periods of their lives as their parents, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, continue to be engulfed in scandal.
Despite the growing pressure, the York sisters have maintained a united front and stayed committed to their professional responsibilities.
Both women have avoided being photographed with Andrew or Sarah, distancing themselves from the controversy linked to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
During one of their recent outings, a lip reader, quoted by Express UK, claims that Beatrice offered her younger sister a sobering warning about the difficult days ahead.
According to the analysis, Beatrice told Eugenie "it's going to get harder" and "we can't do anything", a candid reflection of the sisters’ powerlessness over the unfolding scandal.
Eugenie reportedly responded: "Everything is changing", with Beatrice agreeing that it is a "really anxious time".
The emotional exchange comes after more than 20,000 pages of correspondence from Epstein’s estate were released by the US House Oversight Committee.
The documents include emails involving high-profile figures such as Andrew, Ghislaine Maxwell, and former US President Donald Trump.
One email appears to confirm the authenticity of the infamous photograph showing Andrew with then-17-year-old Virginia Giuffre, an image he has repeatedly questioned. Epstein wrote: "Yes she [Giuffre] was on my plane and yes she had her picture taken with Andrew."
