Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor Was Arrested on February 19
Ex-Prince Andrew was taken into custody by British cops last month over his dealings with Jeffrey Epstein.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Ferguson, both 66, will also not be joining The Firm at the family's yearly polo affair.
Both the ex-Duke and Duchess of York's dealings with dead financier Jeffrey Epstein have caused much scandal for them and for the Windsor clan in recent years.
Andrew was also arrested last month by British police for allegedly sending secret travel details to Epstein while he was a trade envoy.
Ex-Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson's affiliation with Jeffrey Epstein has brought shame onto The Firm.
"I've spoken to my friend who works at Ascot, and they said the girls have been told they can't be there this year," a source told Daily Mail about the York princesses' attendance.
"Beatrice has taken it the hardest. She's been completely blindsided by all of this," the insider noted.
As for Ferguson, she was found to be emailing Epstein several times in over 3 million documents the DOJ dropped in January from the s-- trafficker's personal files.
