Princess Beatrice is "in tears" over the fallout from her father Prince Andrew's "trainwreck" TV interview.
The princess reportedly encouraged the BBC interview in which her father fumbled badly while addressing his previous relations with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, according to New York Post.
"Even though she's their daughter, both Sarah and Andrew rely on Beatrice's judgment a lot when it comes to dealing with the public, as she's got an old head on young shoulders," a source told the outlet.
Initially, Beatrice was wary about her dad sitting down for the interview, but changed her mind after discussions with the broadcast team and Prince Andrew's private secretary, Amanda Thirsk.
"She was asking lots of pertinent questions and had her doubts," the source said. "But by the end of the meeting, she was convinced by the Newsnight team and Amanda Thirsk that they had no choice – that it was the only way to put all the rumours behind them."
