Business as usual for Eugenie: Princess is spotted out in London again after her father’s arrest as her mother Fergie’s whereabouts remain a mystery
Princess Eugenie was spotted on a solo outing in London today, just days after the arrest of her father Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
The daughter of the former Duke and Duchess of York, 35, looked to pass incognito in dark glasses, a long dark green coat and heels as she carried a paper shopping bag.
The 12th-in-line to the throne was occupied on her phone when she was photographed in Kensington, central London, carrying a cream handbag on her right shoulder.
She is the only member of the family that has been seen in public since Andrew spent 11 hours in police custody last Thursday – with the whereabouts of her mother Sarah Ferguson still a mystery.
The former prince was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office on his 66th birthday, with officers from Thames Valley Police carrying out days of searches at his former home of Royal Lodge in Windsor.
Officers also spent the day searching his new property on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk before Andrew was released under investigation.
He is accused of sharing sensitive information with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein during his time as UK’s special representative for international trade and investment.
Following Andrew’s arrest, ex-US ambassador Peter Mandelson was also detained on suspicion of misconduct in public office on Monday before being released on bail.

It is the second time Eugenie has been seen in public since last week’s events, which are said to have left her and her sister, Beatrice, 37, devastated.
She ventured out for a coffee in Notting Hill with her husband Jack Brooksbank on Tuesday, dressed casually in Nike trainers, blue leggings, a jacket and a North Face baseball cap.
Meanwhile Beatrice and the sisters’ mother, Sarah Ferguson, have been nowhere to be seen until now.
Ferguson has spent time in recent months in the French Alps, UAE and an exclusive clinic in Zurich – but her current whereabouts are unknown.
Eugenie had been holidaying in the exclusive Swiss ski resort of Gstaad with her family last week when her father was arrested – and is said to have been ‘in a state’.
Her parents Andrew and Fergie feature heavily among the three million pages of Epstein files which were released by the US Department of Justice last month.
Fergie’s emails to the paedophile financier revealed she took Eugenie and Beatrice to visit Epstein days after his release from prison for child prostitution offences.
Other messages from Fergie to Epstein even talked about Eugenie’s sex life, declaring in one that the princess had been away on a ‘sh*gging weekend’ when she was 19.
Eugenie was spotted in Switzerland last week by diners at the exclusive Restaurant Waldmatte in Gstaad, with Mr Brooksbank and their sons August and Ernest.
One who saw her at lunch told Hello! Magazine: ‘I was surprised to see her because I thought she would be keeping a low-profile in light of everything that has been going on.’

The family were with friends who had also joined them at the eatery with a large terrace and impressive views of the Alps, although they opted to stay inside.
Earlier this month, Eugenie left the UK for Qatar where she appeared in public for the first time since the new Epstein files were released.
She is a director of art dealer Hauser & Wirth and was working at a high-end contemporary art fair in Doha.
Eugenie and Beatrice were previously said to be ‘aghast’ at their mother’s embarrassing tranche of emails to Epstein.
These included emails begging for flight upgrades on a trip to visit the convicted paedophile in the US just days after his release from jail.
Other exchanges show he helped pay off her debts and offered advice as she struggled with her finances.
Ferguson also sent emails to the financier saying ‘marry me’ and described him as the ‘brother I have always wished for’ and a ‘supreme friend’.
Sources close to the sisters also said they were ‘appalled’ and ’embarrassed’ about photos of their father crouching over a mystery woman lying on the floor in Epstein’s New York mansion.
Despite being stripped of his title last year, the former duke of York is still eighth in line to the throne, and an Act of Parliament would be required to remove Andrew and prevent him from ever becoming king.
The UK Government is expected to consider introducing such legislation once police have finished their investigation into the King’s disgraced brother.
