SILENCE IN WINDSOR — Princess Eugenie Steps Out After Andrew’s Title Scandal… But One Detail Around Her Neck Shocked Everyone
After several tense days for the Royal Family following Prince Andrew being stripped of his title and losing his Windsor home, Princess Eugenie made an unexpected public appearance in Notting Hill with her husband, Jack Brooksbank — her first outing since the controversy erupted.
But it wasn’t her rare smile or the moment she burst into laughter on the pavement that captured social media’s attention.
It was the delicate piece of jewellery partly hidden under her black coat — reportedly a gift from Queen Elizabeth II, given only to those considered “absolutely loyal to the Royal Family.”
One eyewitness claimed: “She touched it as she laughed — like a quiet message.”
This sparked intense speculation online: was Eugenie signalling solidarity with the monarchy, or sending a subtle message of support to her disgraced father?
Princess Eugenie was photographed looking upbeat as she appeared in public for the first time since Andrew lost his titles and Windsor residence.
The 35-year-old, who remains 12th in line to the throne, was seen laughing and chatting animatedly with her husband Jack Brooksbank, 39, during a walk through Notting Hill in west London.
Despite the ongoing scandal surrounding Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, Eugenie and Jack appeared determined to continue their routines normally — smiling often and exchanging warm looks. They were also seen talking with friends who laughed along as Eugenie spoke energetically.
Both dressed casually, the princess wore black jeans, a matching top, a long coat and brown suede boots, while Jack sported jeans, a jumper, Nike trainers and a wool bobble hat.
Meanwhile, Eugenie’s older sister, Princess Beatrice, was recently spotted looking far more sombre during a visit to Royal Lodge — the home their parents will eventually have to vacate following fallout from Virginia Giuffre’s book and the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
Eugenie and Jack, who marked their seventh wedding anniversary last month, seemed relaxed as they shared jokes with friends.
Despite their father’s losses, Eugenie appeared calm and composed throughout the outing.
Both sisters remain close to Andrew and Sarah and are believed to be spending more time offering emotional support to their embattled father.
While Andrew has become increasingly withdrawn at Royal Lodge, sources say the princesses are deeply concerned about his mental wellbeing.
King Charles, however, intends to ensure Beatrice and Eugenie are not affected by their father’s actions — both will retain their HRH titles and their standing within the House of York.
Royal Lodge itself remains a point of tension. Although Andrew is expected to leave, insiders say the move is unlikely to happen soon.
One source added a pointed observation about the situation at the residence:
“Even sitting in Royal Lodge, Sarah can spend money. The Amazon deliveries going there are unbelievable. There are rooms full of boxes that haven’t even been opened.”
