The sisters are said to be proactively supporting their 64-year-old father when needed and keeping him engaged in family activities, especially after the commotion surrounding his Royal Lodge residence.
In a nod to Royal traditions, Andrew has been spotted teaching his granddaughter Sienna Mapelli-Mozzi the art of horseback riding on his Royal Lodge grounds.
The reported increased family interaction follows the controversy over his 30-bedroom home, which he holds a lengthy 75-year lease on.

Speaking on Hello’s A Right Royal podcast, Robert Hardman previously said of the situation: “He’s got nothing else. He’s got no public life, he has no public role.
“He is clearly devoted to his home and he likes being there, so if he can make it work, he’s going to try.”
The father-of-two is reportedly determined to maintain ownership of his home for as long as possible, particularly for his daughters’ future.
According to Terry Fisher, of however, this transfer won’t be a walk in the park.
He told Reach PLC: “Royal leases often include restrictions around succession, especially for properties intended to serve working royals.
“Such leases aren’t always straightforward inheritance-wise; transferring the lease to non-working members of the family could likely require the Crown Estate’s approval, especially under King Charles, who might prioritise other uses for Royal properties.”
He further added: “In other words, while Andrew has substantial rights under the lease, he may still face limitations in passing it on to family without special permissions.”
