Duchess of York Shares Joy Over Beatrice’s Growing Family, but Makes No Mention of Andrew
Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, celebrated the news of her daughter Princess Beatrice’s pregnancy in a heartfelt social media post, but notably excluded any reference to Prince Andrew. Earlier this week, Buckingham Palace confirmed that Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, are expecting their second child, much to the delight of both families.
In her emotional message, Sarah expressed her excitement at becoming a grandmother once again and shared her joy at watching her daughter’s family expand. However, in the statement, she made no mention of the baby’s grandfather, Prince Andrew, with whom she continues to share a residence at Royal Lodge in Windsor despite his ongoing controversies.
Fergie’s decision to distance herself from Andrew has been more apparent since the scandal surrounding the Duke of York’s infamous 2019 Newsnight interview, dramatized in the Amazon Prime series A Very Royal Scandal. Even in personal tributes, such as one to her late mother, Sarah has notably cropped Andrew out of shared family images.
