London - Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie were devastated by their mother's financial problems.
The daughters of Britain's Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York took part in reality TV show Finding Sarah for Oprah Winfrey's new network OWN which documents their mother going on a soulful journey to rebuild her self-esteem, after she was caught trying to sell access to her former husband.
But new scenes have shown how upset her children were by the events.
In clips which show Eugenie, 21, in tears, Sarah said: "Seeing Eugenie so upset brought out the fighter in me".
Leading her away, Sarah then says: "What's wrong Eug?" while her youngest child replies: "I don't like it."
Debt-free
Sarah tries to comfort her daughter telling her: "It's fine baby, it's fine. Don't be sad, don't be sad, what are you getting sad for? They can't hurt you, they can't hurt us. We've got to keep tough.'"
Further scenes, which aired on Sunday night in the US, show Beatrice, 22, crying while discussing her mother's "re-invention".
On Monday, Sarah, 51 - who was married to Prince Andrew for 10 years until they divorced in 1996 - declared she is "debt free" for the first time in her life.
She said: "I am debt free for the first time in my life. But I definitely have to work, because I don't have any income at all. I am a single working mum.
