00:00The saga has begun to affect princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, do you think that's inevitable?
00:06I do, sadly. I've met both women on numerous occasions and they're charming, they're lovely,
00:14they're interesting, they're smart, but yes of course there's going to have a knock-on effect
00:22to their lives. And we've seen in the emails that both girls in their late teens, early 20s,
00:31going with their mother Sarah Ferguson to meet Epstein after he came out of prison.
00:38That's not a wise decision, don't do that. Of course, famously Eugenie has been championing
00:45anti-slavery initiatives. She's now stepped back from one only this week, I think their decision
00:52rather than hers. Allegedly they're not going to Ascot this year, of course they can go as private
00:59individuals but they're not going as part of the royal party. We'll see whether they go to garden
01:03parties in the summer, who knows. They haven't been to Cheltenham this week either. No Cheltenham,
01:09no Commonwealth Day service. They haven't been accused of any wrongdoing, maybe misjudgment,
01:15but does that lay... Is it the sins of the fathers? Yes, absolutely. And mothers.
01:21Well, yes, indeed. So should they? But I do think maybe questions could be explored about whether they
01:29are councillors of state. Yes. And I think that's much more of a formal position that they have,
01:34should they have that.
