WASHINGTON, DC: Princess Eugenie has reportedly cut off contact with her father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, because of the ongoing scandal involving Jeffrey Epstein.

Andrew, who lost his royal titles last year, is said to be "devastated" by the decision of his youngest daughter to sever ties.

Princess Eugenie has gone 'no contact' with disgraced father 

The relationship has reportedly collapsed entirely, with Eugenie declining to visit her father even over Christmas. 

According to the Daily Mail, "There is no contact at all, nothing. It’s Brooklyn Beckham level – she has completely cut him off."

While her sister Princess Beatrice is said to be maintaining limited contact with Andrew while remaining close to the royal family, Eugenie has chosen to disengage entirely. 

The source explained, "Beatrice is trying to walk the fine line of not cutting her father off and yet remaining close with the Royal Family. They aren't exactly in regular and close contact at the moment, but Eugenie isn't trying to walk that line. She's not speaking to him."

Andrew forced out as Epstein files resurface

Andrew is now being forced to vacate Royal Lodge, his 30-room residence, after losing both his lease and titles.

Moving trucks have been spotted at the property as he prepares to leave by next weekend, with his belongings reportedly being transferred to a secured warehouse. 

The move comes as newly released Jeffrey Epstein documents were recently made public, renewing scrutiny. While Andrew maintains he has done nothing wrong, the disclosures have intensified controversy, including the resurfacing of images from the Epstein files.

Andrew’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, is also leaving the Royal Lodge and preparing to begin a new chapter.

"Andrew and Sarah have to move out by January 25," a source told Hello! Magazine. "She has stood by him all these years but is now ready to spread her wings."

Andrew is expected to relocate to a smaller property, Marsh Farm in Norfolk, and Sarah will not be joining him.

The source said, "She won't be moving in with him to the new house on the Sandringham Estate. She won't be moving into Beatrice's Cotswolds home, though. Eugenie's home in Portugal is a contender while she finds somewhere."
