Prince Andrew, Duke of York is the father of two royal women. Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are the only children of Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah, Duchess of York. Their father has been in the spotlight since Virginia Giuffre, who is one of Jeffrey Epstein‘s victims, alleged that Prince Andrew was one of the men that sexually assaulted her. In January 2022, the late Queen Elizabeth II formally stripped her son, Prince Andrew, of his military and royal affiliations.
