Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice are "overwhelmed" by a "clingy" Prince Andrew amid his ongoing royal feud with King Charles, a palace insider has claimed
The feud dates back to when King Charles tried to evict the Duke and Duchess of York from Royal Lodge by axing Andrew's £1million-a-year allowance, with the duke refusing to downsize.
A palace insider said: “Andrew is like a lost puppy these days, constantly leaning on Sarah and their daughters for emotional support.”
“He’s become increasingly clingy, reaching out to them every chance he gets, almost as if they’re his only lifeline.”

The source added: “While Sarah and the girls are sympathetic to a point, they also have their own lives to manage."
According to author Robert Hardman, Andrew has reportedly secured independent funding to maintain his residence, with sources confirming he "is no longer a financial burden on the King".
The insider told In Touch: “For Sarah, especially, being associated with him is complicated.
“His reputation as the family’s black sheep makes her connection to him a sensitive issue, and it’s starting to reflect poorly on her as well.”

The insider continued: “He unloads every frustration on her and constantly asks for advice, and even requests her help in connecting him with people who could assist him with his business pursuits.
“But Sarah has her own challenges, she’s dealing with ongoing health issues and an already packed schedule.
“Yet Andrew doesn’t seem aware of the toll his constant needs are taking on her, he’s too wrapped up in himself to think of anyone else.”

They added: “They love their father, but his continuous need for support is draining.
“They love him, but they do wish he would step up and handle his own issues with a bit more independence.
“Ultimately, they want to see him take responsibility and move forward without relying so heavily on them.”
