Princess Beatrice has been issued a warning by royal expert Sarah Hagan after media reports indicated she supported her father Andrew at the Royal Mews of Windsor Castle. The Sun newspaper reported that Princess Beatrice joined her father on a horse ride, spending time with him in private before moving to the castle grounds.
Hagan stated in an interview with Newsweek: “There is certainly a reputational risk for either of them to be associating with Andrew publicly. While they may have been riding privately at his estate, being photographed could pose significant issues.”
The expert noted, “I’m sure she feels some loyalty towards her father, but I do think there’s definitely a reputational risk here. It’s difficult to say outright that she should cut off her father, as he is her dad after all. However, if she wants to keep her professional reputation intact and continue associating with him, she must ensure she’s not photographed in public settings with Andrew.”
Hagan added, “If she still wishes to see him and support him, she needs to manage that association carefully.”
