Princess Eugenie was spotted holidaying in the exclusive Swiss ski resort of Gstaad with her family just hours before her father Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested, it was revealed today.
Andrew’s youngest daughter, 35, is said to be ‘in a state’ after her father was held on suspicion of misconduct in public office after a raid on his new Sandringham home on Thursday.
But before the arrest of her father, who was already reported to nine different police forces, she popped up on an expensive ski trip.
Her parents feature heavily in the Epstein Files and Sarah Ferguson’s emails to the convicted paedophile revealed she took Eugenie and Beatrice to visit him days after his release from prison for child prostitution offences.
So diners at an expensive restaurant in Gstaad admitted they were suprised to see her out and about.
One who saw them said: ‘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’.
Eugenie was spotted in the Swiss Alps with her husband Jack Brooksbank, their sons August and Ernest and their nanny perusing the menu at a restaurant famed for potato rosti and Viennese sausage on Wednesday
The Brooksbanks were with friends who had also joined them at the eaterie with a large terrace with views of the Alps.

They added: ‘Eugenie and Jack were with the children, the nanny and a group of friends.
‘They were tucked away in a corner and casually dressed in ski gear and jackets, and Jack was wearing a beanie hat as they both browsed the menu.’
It came after Eugenie was seen working in Doha at an art fair last week amid reports her mother Sarah Ferguson had joined her on the trip to the UAE.
