London, UK – In a royal scandal that has rocked the House of Windsor to its core, Princess Beatrice of York has reportedly cut all ties with key members of the royal family after a shocking DNA test revealed her true paternity is not Prince Andrew, the Duke of York.
The stunning revelation has sent shockwaves through the United Kingdom and beyond, calling into question decades of royal assumptions and sparking emotional fallout within the royal household.
According to palace insiders, the DNA test was conducted privately at Princess Beatrice’s request following years of quiet speculation and behind-the-scenes whispers about her resemblance to a man long rumored to have had a close relationship with her mother, Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York.
“Beatrice has always had doubts,” one royal aide claimed. “She didn’t want to believe it, but something never felt right. When the results came back, she was absolutely shattered.”
The test reportedly confirmed that Prince Andrew is not Beatrice’s biological father — a discovery that has led the 35-year-old royal to immediately distance herself from the Duke of York, both publicly and privately. Sources say she is “emotionally devastated” and feels her entire identity has been thrown into chaos.
“She’s not angry at the man who raised her,” one source close to Beatrice said. “But she feels betrayed by the decades of silence and secrets. She’s questioning everything.”
As of now, the name of the actual biological father has not been officially released, though speculation is rampant. Some royal commentators have pointed to a well-known figure from the aristocratic circles of the 1980s — a man who was romantically linked to Sarah Ferguson before and during her marriage.
The royal family has refused to comment publicly, but insiders say that King Charles III has held private talks with Beatrice, offering his support and reassuring her that her place within the family is not in question.
Princess Eugenie, Beatrice’s younger sister, is said to be “heartbroken and caught in the middle”, attempting to support her sister while also maintaining family unity. Their mother, Sarah Ferguson, has remained silent since the news broke, reportedly devastated by the fallout of what many are calling “the most personal royal scandal in decades.”
Royal experts say the long-term implications of the revelation could be profound, potentially affecting titles, inheritance rights, and Beatrice’s position in the line of succession, although official constitutional changes are considered unlikely at this stage.
Meanwhile, Princess Beatrice has canceled all upcoming public engagements and is said to be retreating from the spotlight to process the life-changing revelation. She has not yet made a formal statement, but close friends say she is focusing on her young daughter, Sienna, and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, for strength and stability.
“Beatrice is strong, but this has shaken her to the core,” a friend shared. “She needs time — and space — to figure out who she really is now.”
As the world watches in shock and sympathy, one thing is certain: the fairy tale image of royal life has once again been shattered by a truth too powerful to ignore.
