Princess Eugenie turned a deaf ear to backlash and media scrutiny, choosing loyalty to her parents, Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew.
With the blessing of King Charles, she shared the first portrait of her and Jack Brooksbank’s newborn with them, a quiet gesture that spoke louder than the headlines.
It’s unarguable that the Princess of York deprived her parents from the glimpse of their fifth grandchild amid their downfall and difficult time.
Princess Eugenie carries the memory of her upbringing close to her heart.
An insider reveals, “In a time of hardship and public fallout, she chose not to keep her parents from meeting their fifth grandchild. It was a quiet act of loyalty when they needed it most,” the source said.
“She will never forget the way she was raised by them.”
They added, “For Eugenie, it was unthinkable to deny Andrew and Ferguson the glimpse of theirnewborn. Sharing those photos was, to her, a matter of family and of right — even as her parents continue to reckon with regret over their past association with Jeffrey Epstein.”
Eugenie, 36, and Brooksbank, 40, this week announced the arrival of their baby daughter, who was born on Monday, in Lisbon.
The Princess welcomed her third child in Portugal because the country has become her family’s second home – rather than as a slight toward her parents or the royal family.
