Princess Beatrice scraps wedding plans for carriage procession and live TV coverage after Prince Andrew's trainwreck interview
Prince Andrew's latest BBC interview was undoubtedly a trainwreck, but is it already having repercussions on Princess Beatrice's upcoming wedding day celebrations?
Beatrice's wedding to property developer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi will be rather pale in comparison to the grand nuptials of her sister Eugenie last year, especially after she scrapped the planned carriage processions and live TV coverage.
"It will be more low key," a source close to the family told Daily Mail. "Bea and Edo are happy for their wedding to get less attention."
While the ceremony might be held at St George's Chapel, Windsor, where Eugenie married Jack Brooksbank, the couple is also considering a smaller venue in central London.
Live coverage on ITV last year saw Eugenie and Jack being pulled around Windsor by four Windsor Grey horses in the Scottish State Coach.
In September this year, Buckingham Palace announced the engagement of 31-year-old Beatrice and 37-year-old Edo, who has a three-year-old son with his ex-girlfriend, Dara Huang. Their wedding is set to take place next year.
Apart from the Queen, several other famous faces will be in attendance at the event, including Beatrice's friends Ed Sheeran, Ellie Goulding and James Blunt.
According to the report, the wedding will draw inspiration from Lady Gabriella Windsor's marriage to businessman Thomas Kingston earlier this year. At the time, the couple merely provided the media with official photographs after the event despite it having been attended by the Queen and several other royals.
Beatrice's brother-in-law Jack is the brand manager for Casamigos, the tequila brand found by George Clooney and Cindy Crawford's husband, Rande Gerber. He co-hosted the launch of Sam's Riverside restaurant by Hammersmith Bridge in West London on Thursday, November 21.
When asked about the backlash facing his brother's father-in-law over his friendship with billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, he said he wasn't up to speed due to his schedule. "I've been in Poland this week so haven't been following it," Jack told Daily Mail at the launch party.
