Privacy NoticePrince Andrew and his former wife Sarah Ferguson have maintained a friendly relationship, even choosing to continue living together at the Royal Lodge on the Windsor Estate. However, things might be a bit chilly this week after the 64 year old Duchess of York seemingly ignored him in a heartfelt message to their daughter. On Tuesday, it was revealed that Princess Beatrice is expecting her second child with husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. This happy news brought some much-needed cheer to the York family, who have had a challenging year. In addition to Andrew’s ongoing embarrassment over his association with Jeffrey Epstein, he has been embroiled in a continuous dispute with King Charles regarding the future of the Royal Lodge.

Fergie received the heartbreaking news that she has skin cancer, while Beatrice, aged 36, was reportedly deeply upset by the tragic death of her ex-boyfriend Paulo Liuzzo. However, any hopes that the 64 year old Duke of York had that the baby announcement would help the family present a united front seem to have been dashed when his ex-wife shared a touching post on social media. Despite their amicable relationship, it notably did not mention the soon-to-be grandfather. She gushed: “Words can’t quite express the joy and excitement I feel as you and Endo prepare to welcome another precious addition to your beautiful family. Becoming a grant again fills my heart with so much happiness and gratitude. Watching you grow as a mother has been one of the greatest privileges of my life and now to see your family blossom further is an absolute blessing,” reports the Scottish Daily Express.

“Our family is growing and so too is the love that surrounds us. I cannot wait to meet this little one and to share in all the wonderful memories we will make together.” The “proud GiGi/Mum” also took to social media to express her pride, sharing a sweet snap of herself with Beatrice and little Sienna, 3, noticeably without grandfather in the frame. This isn’t the first time Fergie has left Andrew out of the picture when it comes to family matters on social media. On Father’s Day, she chose to highlight Mr Mozzi and Jack Brooksbank, Princess Eugenie’s husband and father of her two kids, instead of Andrew.Story SavedYou can find this story in  My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
