Princess Eugenie was seen enjoying the rides with her two young children at Winter Wonderland in London’s Hyde Park as scandal continues to engulf her dad Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor
Princess Eugenie was spotted enjoying a festive fun day out as scandal continues to engulf her disgraced dad, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. The mum-of-two was seen enjoying the rides at Winter Wonderland in London’s Hyde Park alongside her two young sons, August, four, and two-year-old Ernest, as she treated them to a day out.
Eugenie, 35, could be seen accompanying her little ones on some of the smaller attractions at the event while posing for photos that were being taken by a friend. Casually dressed in jeans, a camel coat and sunglassed, she was also spotted treating the children to hot dogs and pizza as well as holding a giant lollipop.

It comes as many have predicted that Eugenie and her older sister Beatrice are facing a dilemma as Christmas approaches over where to spend the festive season.
Their father, Andrew, who was stripped of all his titles last month amid more revelations about is association with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, will not be joining the rest of the Royal Family for Christmas at Sandringham.
The disgraced former Duke of York is believed to be spending one last Christmas at his Royal Lodge mansion in Windsor before being booted out to go and live privately in a much smaller property on the Sandringham estate. However, this move is understood to be taking place in the New Year.
But the question remains if Beatrice and Eugenie will choose to spend the festive season with their dad in Windsor or travel as usual to Sandringham with the rest of the Royal Family.
Their uncle, the King, is said to be fond of his nieces, with royal expert Ingrid Seward explaining that he has embraced them both – despite their parents’ indiscretions.
She told The Sun: “I think that Charles feels quite responsible for these two girls, because it’s been a hideous time for them. Really hideous. They’ve both got young children, and I know they’ve got supportive husbands, but they’ve both got young children, and I think it’s been very, very difficult.
“We always have to remember with King Charles that he’s a man of great faith. I think it’s great that he’s kind of embraced these two girls and their families and said, ‘don’t worry we are looking after you’.”
It is unclear where Beatrice and Eugenie’s mother, Sarah Ferguson, will be spending Christmas. She was previously barred from royal Christmas celebrations at Sandringham following her divorce from Andrew.
But in 2023, she rejoined the Firm for the first time in 30 years on the annual Christmas Day walk to church. However, both she and Andrew were missing last year as they stayed away following allegations of Andrew’s association with an alleged Chinese spy.
Despite their divorce, Fergie has continued to live with Andrew at Royal Lodge, but after being forced to give up the lease, it is believed she will not move with him to Sandringham in the new year.
