Sarah’s holiday comes just days after reports of her eldest daughter’s “concerns” for Prince Andrew.
Whilst the Duke of York spends most of his time at Royal Lodge in Windsor, it was reported that he now leans on “protective” Princess Beatrice, 36, and Princess Eugenie, 34.
Five years after his Newsnight interview triggered the end of his public life, a source told Hello!: “The girls take the grandchildren to visit him most weekends.
They are spending far more time with him now than they have done in recent years.
“They are quite close to their father; they seem to be quite protective towards him.”
The Duke of York, who shares his £30million home with ex-wife Sarah, is said to have found solace in his grandchildren.
He has been seen driving Sienna Mapelli-Mozzi, the three-year-old daughter of Beatrice and husband Edoardo Mapelli-Mozzi, around the Windsor Estate.
