Does anybody know why the Yorks always go to Bahrain for watching F1 races? There are lots of F1 races in Europe if they are fans of racing. You never see them there, that would be much less travelling for them.

They have been known to hang out at Monaco too.

Does anybody know why the Yorks always go to Bahrain for watching F1 races? There are lots of F1 races in Europe if they are fans of racing. You never see them there, that would be much less travelling for them.

They are also often seen at the Monaco Grand Prix. I suspect it is because the different royals are able to host them.

 

[Elly C]

I don’t think it’s royals that host them. It’s more likely to be guests of team owners and the like. They are part of a social crowd that gravitate to certain events- not sure why Qatar over other Middle Eastern Grand Prix, but Monaco follows the Cannes film festival where Sarah and her daughters have been frequent attendees over the years.

Daily Mail senior feature writer Sarah Rainey produced an article about the York princesses, their father and the forthcoming unauthorized biography of him. The article intersperses speculation from royal watchers with quotes from anonymous sources, some of whom are specified to be people close to the family.


According to someone “close to the family”:

“A source close to the family told the Mail this week that Beatrice and Eugenie are 'utterly mortified' by [Andrew] Lownie's book, especially its claims about their father.

Although they'd been braced for its release, the reality – and the global furore it has stirred up – has been worse than they feared. 'They're keeping a distance from [their] dad,' the source reveals.

'The extent to how much the relationship can recover will depend on what further revelations, if any, emerge.'”​

According to “a family friend” and another “associate”:

“As Beatrice and Eugenie grew up, however, a transformation took place. 'The girls lost their loyalty to Andrew and his pompous approach to being royal,' a family friend says.

'They'd been brought up to believe their breeding set them in a class apart. Their change of view was gradual, but was no doubt helped by having been out in the real world at non-Oxbridge universities [Beatrice at Goldsmith's in London; Eugenie at Newcastle].'

Another associate says: 'Considering what they've been through, they're remarkably well-adjusted.'

'They are far more courteous and respectful towards staff than their father has ever been.'”​

According to a “source” who is not further characterized:

“'These days, the girls are rare visitors to Royal Lodge [the £30 million Windsor estate where they grew up, and where Andrew lives on a royal lease, together with Fergie when she's in the UK].

'They spend most of their time raising families, pursuing careers and trying to be normal. Andrew isn't completely ostracised, but arrangements to see Sarah usually take place elsewhere, and the girls seem keener that the King and other senior royals are part of their lives.'”​

The article also reports:

“On social media, where Eugenie boasts 1.8 million followers, the last reference to her father dates back to June 2020, when she wished her 'Papa' a happy Father's Day. In an album of pictures entitled 'Family', Andrew features just once, in a photograph from 2018.

By contrast, Fergie is pictured countless times – on Mothering Sunday, International Women's Day and on her birthday.

In a recent podcast appearance, co-hosted by Prince Harry's ex-girlfriend, Cressida Bonas, the girls described themselves and their mother as a 'tripod'. 'We are each other's biggest fans and … we turn up for each other,' they said. Their father didn't get a mention.”​

Sordid revelations about Andrew leave Eugenie and Beatrice 'mortified'

Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are used to reading lurid headlines about their parents - particularly when it comes to their father, the Duke of York.

www.dailymail.co.uk

https://archive.ph/8eUut

Whether the sources are speaking the truth or not, it seems that some close to the York princesses – and quite possibly the princesses themselves – have decided it would be better for them to keep their distance from their father in public (even retroactively, cf. the reference to allegedly starting to lose their loyalty in university).

King tells Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson to miss royal Christmas

archived 27 Sep 2025 21:15:00 UTC

The Times has an article saying the King has indicated Andrew and Fergie will not be welcome at Sandringham this year and in future they should use "more discreet" entrances when attending private family events and church services.

A friend said: “The King is not of the mind to banish someone worshipping at church or attending family occasions like a funeral. But he would hope they would find a more discreet way of attending these events. In the Duke of York’s case, he seems to relish the prospect of not being low-key about it.”

 

[GondorHasNoPants]

Both good decisions, IMHO. But the Duke and Duchess are not the type of people to respond to politely expressed preferences about being 'invisible' - they both need to be told precisely where the boundaries are, in clear and explicit terms.

With someone like Andrew, I fear the only way to make him 'invisible' at a family event is to not have him there in the first place. Or to assign him a chaperone who makes sure he goes through the back door. Because Andrew will never willingly be that discreet and low-key himself. He will always want to make it about him.

Charles is, IMO, someone who likes to be seen to do something without actually doing anything. As such I can well imagine that he has allowed for this to be leaked out and hopes it is enough to make Andrew and Sarah fall into line. It won't be. Andrew needs to be told he is now to be treated, at most, the same as junior members of the RF - he can arrive or depart on the same minibus that takes the like of the extended Kent or Gloucester families to family events or indeed, that even that is too good for him.

 

[Diarist]

..........Charles is, IMO, someone who likes to be seen to do something without actually doing anything.......

And there you have Charles's modus operandi in a nutshell....

Ever since he attained adulthood, Charles has constantly dithered and dithered and dithered and displayed unbelievable weakness over practically everything... [Really, these are two sides of the same coin!]

In fact one of the reasons we are in the right royal mess we are at the moment is because of Charles's dithering and weakness from the very first... For example, when he met and fell in love with Camilla Shand he dithered and dithered and dithered so much that Andrew Parker Bowles snapped her up...

And then when Charles [re]encountered the young Diana Spencer, whom he did not really love, he allowed himself to be swayed into marrying her...

Fast-forward to the modern era and Charles was apparently too weak to tell Andrew not to turn up at Christmas, leading to Fergie 'warning Andrew Off', apparently earning Fergie Charles's gratitude ... Imagine Charles being indebted in any way to Fergie ....FERGIE!

Charles is KING for goodness' sake! Why can't he 'man up' and take a strong lead in anything? And look, Fergie split from Andrew in 1992.... yet here we are more than 30-something years with Fergie still living a quasi-royal existence.... There she was front and central at Royal Ascot and it was the same for the funeral of the saintly Duchess of Kent [except this time Andrew joined in as well...]

Charles needs to take control very quickly - who knows what other revelations are about to emerge? After all, it has been a good few years since Fergie made her ringing endorsement of Epstein and there is the very real possibility that there is even worse to come out...

And I am fed up with Fergie constantly trying to avoid responsibility for her various actions.. and in this case she is not poor defenceless Fergie trying to protect people from the wrath of Epstein....Fergie has / had the contacts and resources to 'lawyer up' and get the best legal brains to sort out the Epstein mess....

I wonder if Charles' schooldays, where he was totally miserable and bullied at Gordonstoun, eroded his self-confidence and made him hesitant and indecisive?

(I think the Queen was responsible for that; Philip may have insisted Charles attend Gordonstoun no matter what, but she knew he was unhappy and allowed it to happen.)

Possibly relatedly, royal reporters also took note that Princess Eugenie did not post Instagram congratulations on her mother’s birthday (two days before the Duke and Duchess of York announced they would stop using those titles), as she usually (though not always) does.

Princess Eugenie fails to publicly wish her mother happy birthday

The King's niece, 35, was silent on social media while the Duchess of York celebrated her 66th birthday amid the ongoing Epstein scandal engulfing her and the Prince Andrew.

www.dailymail.co.uk

Andrew Lownie (author of “Entitled”) pointed out that Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie attended Christmas at Sandringham last year, even though their father was forced to keep away due to his Chinese spy scandal. He also writes:

“I know that both women have had counselling to deal with the various scandals their parents have been involved in and there are rumours they are having much less contact with their father than they once did.”

Fergie, Beatrice and Eugenie are all distancing themselves from Andrew

As the Prince Andrew saga grows more sordid by the day, we have to ask the question: how long will his nearest and dearest stick by him?

www.dailymail.co.uk

On the other hand, a friend of the family asserted to royal reporter Richard Palmer that the sisters privately remain supportive of their parents:

“But in private, the sisters have both been spending time with Andrew and Sarah, offering them solace amid ongoing revelations about their friendship with the late paedophile, according to those who know the family well.

“They’ve always been a very resilient family who support each other in times of crisis,” one friend said, denying rumours in royal circles over the weekend that the sisters had cut off contact with their parents.

[…]

Beatrice has told friends: “I’m just numbed by it all,” as she struggles to process a succession of new revelations about her father.”

How Beatrice and Eugenie plan to distance themselves from 'toxic' parents

The sisters want to remain loyal to Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson while disentangling themselves from the tainted York brand, insiders say

inews.co.uk

Mr. Palmer’s article also recaps recent news about the sisters, including the palace’s briefing that

‘Unlike Andrew and Sarah, they will be welcome to join the rest of the Royal Family at Sandringham for Christmas. “The King is fond of both of them and his intention is that they are unaffected,” one source said.’​

It is interesting that the latest palace comments have stressed that King Charles III is fond of his York nieces and does not wish them to be negatively affected by what is happening with their parents. It is a quite different tone from media coverage in 2011 when there was a report he referred to them as “twits”.
