Princess Beatrice sick of being humiliated amid Prince Andrew's drama

Princess Beatrice is reportedly "heartbroken" and feeling "stuck in the middle" of the ongoing drama surrounding her father, Prince Andrew, according to an insider.

The 36-year-old Princess of York recently appeared in the Amazon Prime series A Very Royal Scandal, which debuted earlier this month. 

The show dramatised Prince Andrew’s infamous career-ending Newsnight interview, highlighting how Beatrice accompanied her father to meet with the BBC team prior to the interview.

Sources now claim that Beatrice feels "sick of being humiliated" and is "devastated" by the programme. They also noted that she is "avoiding" Royal Lodge, the residence Prince Andrew has shared with Sarah Ferguson since 2003.

The Duke of York is currently embroiled in tense discussions with King Charles, who wants him to move to a smaller and less costly property. 

Andrew, who holds a lease on Royal Lodge through the Crown Estate until 2078, had hoped to leave the home to his daughters as an inheritance.

An insider told New Idea magazine that Beatrice has been keeping her distance from her parents' lavish home due to the scandal surrounding her father. 

The source explained: "It’s a stressful environment, and Beatrice often finds herself playing peacemaker for her dad. She’s tired of being caught in the middle and recognizes this has been a pattern throughout her life."

Beatrice, who is described as a "daddy's girl," is said to be heartbroken and is reportedly hoping the "nightmare" surrounding the Amazon series will soon pass.

The source said: "It's a stress hole there and for some reason, Beatrice always gets stuck in the middle of things, playing peacemaker on behalf of her dad.

"She doesn't want to be doing that anymore and she recognises it's been a pattern all her life.

"No one wants to be around him when he's dealing with so much right now. Beatrice is brokenhearted, of course."

The insider went on to say that it has been particularly difficult for her as she's a "daddy's girl".

Princess Beatrice is now supposedly "desperately" hoping for the Amazon TV series "nightmare" to blow over.

A Very Royal Scandal starred Ruth Wilson as former BBC journalist Emily Maitlist, who conducted the interview, and Michael Sheen as Prince Andrew.

It suggested Beatrice played a part in securing the interview with her father, something the New Idea source said has left the princess "devastated".
