Beatrice & Eugenie Reportedly ‘Struggling Badly’ After Claim Diddy Once Told Fergie He ‘Couldn’t Wait’ Until Her ‘Daughters Came of Age’
The former prince Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, have been involved in scandal after scandal, but the latest has been perhaps the most destructive one. Andrew was arrested for suspicion of misconduct in public office. Ferguson’s ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were exposed. And amid it all, their daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, have tried to carry on with a name that will now be forever associated with their parents’ bad decisions.
But another Fergie scandal has apparently been the last straw for the two. Closer reported that the sisters are “exhausted” from dealing with their parents many scandals, per TheNews. The report said the sisters are “completely rattled” by reports that their mother and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and their mother’s rumored nights together costed £50,000 a night.

According to royal author Andrew Lownie, Diddy and Fergie had a ‘secret friends with benefits’ agreement that went on for several years. That’s not all, Diddy reportedly bragged about sleeping with Fergie, and said “he could not wait until Fergie’s daughters come of age.”
The reports indicate the two sisters, and particularly Beatrice, are “exhausted from trying to steady both parents through an endless cycle of damaging headlines” and is “struggling badly.”
“They adore their mother and want to protect her, but the sisters are constantly firefighting,” the insider explained. Beatrice is “carrying everybody emotionally,” and “it’s a huge burden.”
All of this is especially true as Beatrice is trying to shield her sister, who just announced she was expecting her third child, from stress “in what should be a happy period in her life.”
Plus, the two are reportedly concerned that even more damaging information will come out. “There’s a panic that there may be more revelations linked to Fergie’s past social circle – people are asking what could come out next and who else she may’ve crossed paths with,” a source explained.
“Every time the Palace thinks things are calming down, something else happens,” the source added.
Closer also reported that the royal family has been left “horrified” by the new reports on Fergie. A source told the outlet, “The sheer volume of stories surfacing about Sarah’s former connections to controversial figures has left senior royals appalled. People were absolutely aghast when Diddy’s name was thrown into the mix – even hearing Sarah’s name mentioned in the same breath as him has horrified the family.”
“Diddy’s another big name linked to a high-profile sex scandal – and Sarah is, again, right there in the thick of it. It’s deeply embarrassing. Whether or not the affair claims are true almost became secondary once those headlines were out – the damage was done instantly. King Charles and Queen Camilla especially find the whole circus mortifying. Camilla’s furious, she genuinely thought that chapter of royal scandal was finally fading into the background.”
Reports indicate Fergie introduced her daughters to Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and that they met him several times. Combs was tried on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He was ultimately convicted on two felony counts of transportation for prostitution and sentenced to 50 months in prison.
