With the scandal embroiling their father, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, you may be wondering what lies in store for his daughters, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice.
The royal sisters have properties within royal palaces as part of a long-standing deal agreed with their father, and now their own links to the scandal are being analysed.

"But with questions now being asked about their own interaction with the convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and renewed focus on their business and charity dealings in the UK and overseas, the royal sisters find themselves in the eye of the storm."
Beatrice and Eugenie's royal homes
As previously mentioned, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie have properties within royal palaces as part of a long-standing deal agreed with their father.
According to the Times, despite Andrew's ongoing scandal, which caused him to be forced out of his home at Royal Lodge, under a deal struck for his daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie can still use the palaces as their second homes, despite having primary residences elsewhere.
Beatrice has an apartment in St James’s Palace and Eugenie has Ivy Cottage, a three-bedroom property at Kensington Palace.
According to the publication, the agreement is a private arrangement between the Yorks and the King, which requires them to pay an undisclosed sum in rent.
Beatrice, 37, and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi live most of the time in their £3 million home in Oxfordshire with their daughters Sienna, four, and Athena, one. Beatrice is also stepmother to Wolfie, nine, her husband’s son from a previous relationship.
Meanwhile, Eugenie, 35, and her husband Jack Brooksbank have a home in Portugal where they live with their two children: August, five, and Ernest, two.
