King Charles is reportedly being forced to reconsider Princess Beatrice’s hopes of taking on more public royal duties amid Sarah Ferguson’s ongoing Jeffrey Epstein email scandal.

Before the 2011 emails showing Fergie apologising to the convicted sex offender emerged, there were talks that Beatrice could gradually return to a fuller royal role.

However, an insider has revealed that Beatrice and her sister Princess Eugenie have been unfairly “tarnished with the same brush” as their parents, leaving them heartbroken.

“There had at one stage been a feeling that Bea could have been lined up one day,” they said. “She’s never put a foot wrong, don’t forget – and she shouldn’t be punished for the sins of her father.”

“But the King’s courtiers are concerned Andrew could try to ‘get in via the back door’ by exerting influence over her,” the source told Heat Magazine.

“The King was previously open to striking some type of compromise with Beatrice especially, one that would see her take on more royal responsibility and potentially ease herself back towards a full-time working position within the family,” they continued.

“But that can’t possibly happen now, as some would believe it would be rewarding her father by association and the consensus is that a clean cut with the Yorks – as far as business and formal invites at the very least – is what’s necessary.

“This is horrible for the girls, it’s all crumbling around them so quickly and dramatically. This is just heart-breaking for them and they’re very upset with their mother and father, quite rightly so.”

Prince Andrew’s deep association to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein will now be unfolded in a new book.

The Duke of York’s friendship with financier Epstein will come across more allegations in the new account of author Sarah McCarthy

A source close to publisher ­TrineDay told the Mirror: “Just when you think there cannot be any more allegations about Andrew and Epstein, more come out.

“The book proves we do not know the true extent of their friendship. It threatens serious ­repercussions, not just for Andrew but for everyone who has protected him. If Andrew is connected to the deeper networks McCarthy describes, the fallout will be severe.”

A spokesman for Trineday Press, said the book “introduces explosive new revelations about Prince Andrew and other high‑profile figures, adding names and connections the world has never seen or heard about.” He said: “Blue Butterfly dismantles the illusion Epstein was a lone predator. Instead, it exposes a far darker reality, one deliberately hidden from public view.”

Meghan Markle has a tuff with Vogue editor back in the days.

The Duchess of Sussex, who interviews for a feature in the magazine back when she wasn’t married to Prince Harry, she issued a list of demands for ex Vogue editor-in-chief Edward Enninful, that were instantly snubbed.

A source reveals: “Meghan asked for control over [the] photographer, writer, final edit, photos, cover lines, and wanted a global issue,” a source told to the outlet. “Nobody gets that. Not even Beyoncé.”

“Anna wasn’t interested,” a source toldPage Six of Vogue editor, Anna Wintour. “Meghan asked for a Zoom with her to reconsider, and Anna did it to be polite

The Daily Mail quotes a source as saying: “The duchess and her team had high expectations and were expecting she might get a print cover or at least a digital cover out of it, but Enninful was not able to meet those expectations.

“He already had a magazine cover in the bag for that month. Edward was furious to have lost the project, as were the powers that be at Condé Nast.”

The source added: “The whole process became very difficult. Edward could only promise her a big showy feature inside the magazine and online — but she turned it down.”
