AI Summary

medium article 2 min

Following the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on suspicion of misconduct in public office, his former wife, Sarah Ferguson, and their daughters, Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice, have made no public statements. The arrest is related to allegations that Mountbatten-Windsor improperly shared confidential government documents with Jeffrey Epstein during his time as a trade envoy. Ferguson, who divorced Mountbatten-Windsor in 1996, also had a close relationship with Epstein, revealed in recently released documents. She has maintained a low profile since Mountbatten-Windsor was stripped of his royal title and moved out of Royal Lodge. While Ferguson no longer receives support from the royal family, their daughters retain their titles and places in the line of succession.
