And Beatrice, 37, who has two daughters of her own, said: “Do you know, my favourite thing about my mum is the more I, this is going to sound very funny, but the more I get to know her in her life, the more incredible this woman is becoming.
“As a mum, she is completely effervescent in her ability to bring joy. And as a mum she has this overwhelming sense of just turning up no matter what is happening or where she is going or what she is doing. She just turns up.”
Beatrice continued: “It is such a beautiful thing. Now reflecting and preparing for this podcast, and reflecting on what she has been through, especially in the last year with some health struggles, at 64 she is sort of reaching her greatness in all levels.
“And I feel so grateful that we are actually able to share our mum with so many people because she is such a force to reckon with that it is even more exciting now than it has been for us growing up.”
The same question was asked of Eugenie, 35, who has two sons, and she too paid tribute to her mum.
She said: “Yeah, I would say as a woman I think she is spontaneous, I like to say mad as a box of frogs, always the joy bubble in the room.
“And then as a mum, it is the same, but also as Beatrice said, that strength…l don’t know about you guys but as you are now the mum of your family, when we are with our mum, it is like we can be little again, and we can be those little people that need their support from their mum and that just immediately comes to mind when I think about mum, that strength and that person you can always bounce off when you need to.”
Sarah reached out to sex abuser Epstein weeks after vowing never to speak to him again. Apologising to him, she wrote: “I did not use the P word about you.”
Sarah later lost her Duchess title when Andrew gave up his Duke of York title before King Charles started a “formal process to remove” Andrew’s titles, honours and his HRH style.
And as for how this has impacted the way Beatrice and Eugenie see their mum, Rebecca English, the Daily Mail’s Royal Editor, spoke about what a friend of the family revealed.
She said: “I would actually go so far as to say that they are even more disappointed in their mother than their father now.”
The source continued: “They also love their mother dearly, of course they do. She’s a wonderful grandmother, too, and they are deeply concerned about how this is all affecting her mentally as much as their father. But I think it’s fair to say the scales have also somewhat fallen from their eyes.”
