Insiders claim that Eugenie met up with her mother in the Middle East. So, while the York family navigates uncomfortable attention back home, Ferguson and Eugenie have kept close, but just not in the UK.

GB News reported that Sarah Ferguson and her daughter, Princess Eugenie, are staying under the radar. The public noticed Eugenie in Qatar, where she attended Art Basel in Doha for professional duties, fulfilling her role as a director at art dealer Hauser & Wirth. Photos from the event showed the princess working the contemporary art fair after a small time out of the spotlight.
Moreover, the appearance drew extra attention because it marked Eugenie’s first public engagement since recent controversies sparked a new wave of scrutiny around the former Prince Andrew and Ferguson. Besides, GB News noted that German influencer Caroline Daur posted a photo with Eugenie at the event in Doha.
Behind the scenes, the situation has reportedly hit the family socially and publicly. The outlet quoted an insider, who claimed, “Sarah is upset that their names have apparently been taken off the guest lists for red-carpet and charity events.” Meanwhile, another insider added, “The Yorks are just about holding it together as a family but this has put new strains on their relationships.”
The report suggested that the sisters have been trying to navigate the backlash around their parents as headlines make their way into major outlets. A royal source, quoted by the Mail, described Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie as staying “loyal to their parents in private while separating themselves in public.”
Neither Sarah Ferguson nor her daughter, Princess Eugenie, has commented publicly on the reported Middle East meet-up.
