York Sisters Skip Easter Service Amid Scandal

0:00On March 31st, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugene are sitting out the Royal Family's Easter Church Service this Sunday at Windsor Castle. With the King's approval, the sisters made other plans amid the fallout from their father Andrew's arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office. That bus happened back in February, tied to his old ties with Jeffrey Epstein. They showed up for Christmas as Sanderingham in December, and sources say they'll join family events down the line. Meanwhile, the King, Queen, Prince, and Princess of Wales and others plan to keep the tradition alive at St. George's Chapel. The sisters have drawn heat themselves after their names popped up in those recently released Epstein court files from the U.S. Department of Justice. E-mails showed their mom, Sarah Ferguson, arranging a meetup with Epstein in Miami back in July 2009 when the girls were 19 and 20. Public scrutiny has ramped up over the whole family's Epstein connections. Andrew got stripped of his Prince title and duked him late last year, but the daughters

Sarah just lost her freedom of the city of York honor over her Epstein links, and Eugenei stepped down as patron of the anti-slavery international, charity after seven years. Andrew denies any wrongdoing with Epstein, especially claims from victims and hasn't directly hit back at fresh allegations of other encounters. As the royals gear up for Easter, without the York sisters, this scandal keeps rippling through the family.
