Princess Eugenie’s Husband Is Reportedly Taking Quiet Steps To Avoid Being ‘Tainted’ by Royal Drama
Princess Eugenie’s husband, Jack Brooksbank, is drawing a line in the sand when it comes to the royal family scandal.
Eugenie is at the center of the Jeffrey Epstein drama due to her parents, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson. Their long-running association with the late pedophile has made things very difficult for her, and that’s why Brooksbank is reportedly stepping in to put up a healthy boundary.
Andrew is taken care of at Sandringham Estate with King Charles, but Ferguson will not be moving into Eugenie’s Portugal home, despite some earlier reports. Per a Daily News source, Brooksbank refused to “step into the line of fire himself” after building a successful business empire.
“Jack has worked very hard building his business, and it’s going well, so the last thing he needs is for the Epstein scandal to taint that. He will do everything he can to keep his head below the parapet because of that,” a royal insider claimed.
The family source also alleged that “Sarah is difficult to live with and they don’t want the responsibility of looking after her at the moment.” With Eugenie’s home off the table as an option, Ferguson has reportedly been living with an unexpected friend, Priscilla Presley, according to Page Six.
Presley was one of the few people who stepped out to help Ferguson after the fallout from the release of the Epstein documents.
“Everyone’s telling her that now’s not a good time,” the media outlet’s source shared. “A lot of people actually really like her, but being associated with anyone associated with Epstein just isn’t wise right now.”
The former Duchess of York spent years cohabiting with her ex-husband at Royal Lodge despite their 1996 divorce, but that cushy living situation ended when they were evicted by the king. There have been rumors that she’s bounced around the globe after her royal real estate exodus.
Hello! Magazine reported that Ferguson was “laying low” in the United Arab Emirates in February, even avoiding the crush of press when Andrew was arrested. Wherever she lands, it sounds like residences outside of the U.K. are her best options. For Brooksbank, that might be the best news of all.
The Daily Mail source summed up, “The whole sordid affair has already brought them a great deal of unwarranted attention, and he won’t do anything to increase that.”
