The Duke of York's two daughters are married and have young families of their own

Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice "go out of their way to look after Prince Andrew", a royal commentator has claimed.

The Duke of York, 64, stepped back from royal duties after his 2019 Newsnight interview resulted in a huge public backlash.


Prince Andrew has since spent the majority of his time staying at Royal Lodge, his home since 2003.

His ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, also lives at the Windsor property, despite divorcing the duke in 1996.

Andrew's daughters, Princess Beatrice, 36, and Princess Eugenie, 34, are married and have young families of their own.

According to royal commentator Ingrid Seward, the 64-year-old has maintained a great relationship with his daughters and grandchildren.

Referring to the Yorks as a "united family together", Seward said: "He has a very, very good relationship with his daughters' children, and I think that's one of the main things that sustains him.

"They all get on very well. He gets on extremely well with Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, always has, though they've had their fallouts.

"He does see a lot of his grandchildren and enjoys spending time with them."

Eugenie married Jack Brooksbank in 2018 and the couple share two sons, August, three, and Ernest, one.

Meanwhile, Beatrice tied the knot with Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in 2020 and together share a daughter named Sienna, two.

Edoardo also has a son named Wolfie, eight, with his former partner Dara Huang.

According to Seward, Beatrice and Eugenie make great efforts to visit the Duke of York at his Windsor property.

She continued to tell The Sun: "I think because they know that he's kind of stuck at Royal Lodge, they will go out of their way to go and see him rather than him coming to see them."

The Duchess of York has previously explained why she has such a close relationship with Andrew, despite no longer being married.

She said: "We get on because, in the darkest time of my life, he was always there for me. In the darkest time of his life, I will be there for him."
