Lip-reader reveals Princess Beatrice’s four-word vow to Eugenie amidst Andrew’s Epstein scandal
A lip-reading expert has revealed a four-word vow made between Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie on the day Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was stripped of his title.
The pair were spotted in London on November 7, after facing the public downfall of their father, Andrew, who came under fire for his connection to Jeffrey Epstein.
Buckingham Palace confirmed that Andrew would lose his “prince” title on King Charles’ authority in a statement published on October 30.

Since then, the royal family have appeared united in the decision.
According to the Daily Express, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie were having a “heated” conversation on the same day Andrew officially lost his royal title.
Nicola Hickling, a lip-reading expert, said Princess Beatrice had made a vow to her sister, telling her “we’re in this together” and “don’t forget that”.
According to Ms Hickling, Princess Beatrice also said “it’s going to get harder” and “we can’t do anything”. Princess Eugenie reportedly said, “Everything is changing”.
The conversation also addressed their anxieties, and according to the expert, Princess Beatrice said, “It’s a really anxious time”.
Both princesses have returned to work since the scandal erupted in late October.
Royal watchers have speculated on social media that the meeting was specifically planned so that the public would see them united.
Footage of the pair embracing in the middle of a street went viral.
“This was a totally staged photo op. From the walk down the street (with a frontal shot without obstruction) to this hug,” one Reddit user commented on a clip.
Others were quick to question the assumption that the meet was a paparazzi stunt.
“This entire post and the comments are nonsense. There is no source for this, no one here knows the circumstances or whether it is a ‘pap’ photo or what the girls are doing and towards what purpose,” one user wrote.
