Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, has reportedly been avoiding Princess Eugenie of the royal family for reasons connected to preserving her status against scandals surrounding the family.
Middleton, who shares a strikingly similar background with Princess Eugenie, has been known to be the first royal to cut ties with Eugenie’s father and ex-Prince Andrew, following revelations of his involvement with deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Kate Middleton becomes more guarded with Princess Eugenie amid Jeffrey Epstein and ex-Prince Andrew scandal
As the daughter of the accused Prince Andrew, Eugenie has been known to get embroiled in controversies early in her life. As mates at Marlborough College, Kate and Eugenie had opposite personalities. While the Princess of Wales kept a low profile, Eugenie has had her share of scandals, including an incident where she was found dancing naked on the school grounds in 2008, following a night of drinking.
Kate’s life as the Princess of Wales has been a willfully guarded one. Eugenie’s sympathy for her father, Prince Andrew, and her supportive stance towards Prince Harry and Meghan after their falling out with the royal family may have made her an unfavourable choice for Kate’s inner circle.
An insider claims, “It’s not as though Kate and Eugenie have had some dramatic falling out or major confrontation behind closed doors. The issue is much more subtle than that. There’s simply a growing emotional and social distance between them because they now occupy very different spaces within the Royal Family and have very different priorities.”
The source confirms that Kate’s priorities now lie with supporting the Prince of Wales and ensuring the continuation of his legacy through Prince George. As the source confirms, “She’s become incredibly protective of that environment. Eugenie, meanwhile, is still viewed by some palace insiders as someone who remains sympathetic toward her father, Harry, and Meghan and emotionally connected to their side of the family divide.”
