'She is the one light of my life': Princess Eugenie's father Andres makes guests cry with touching speech at wedding reception

Prince Andrew related stories from Princess Eugenie's childhood in a heartfelt speech at the reception before welcoming her husband Jack Brooksbank with a hug
UPDATED OCT 12, 2018

Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, was a proud father at the wedding of his younger daughter Princess Eugenie as he welcomed Jack Brooksbank into the family by giving him a tight hug and making the guests cry with an emotional speech.

As a supportive father, he began his duties by walking Eugenie down the aisle. "It's a very small role, I just have to walk slowly. I haven't been the father of a bride so I don't know what to expect, but I'm looking forward to it," he said in an interview. "I'll have to walk on the left of the carpet to make sure that she can get enough room. That's a lesson I got from my wedding. My father-in-law walked down the middle so Sarah said 'Get over to the other side.'"
