Andrew Mountbatten Windsor is alarmed his daughter, Princess Eugenie’s husband, with a strange demand.

The Duke of York, who married his youngest daughter back in 2018, shocked his future son-in-law with a strange demand.

Royal author Hugo Vickers in his book Queen Elizabeth II A Personal History writes: “On 12 October 2018 Princess Eugenie married Jack Brooksbank in St George’s Chapel. This was a happier wedding.”

“It did not attract as much publicity, and the Duke of York was annoyed that it would not be filmed for the major networks, though he persuaded a company to record it,” he noted.

“The groom was alarmed that Prince Andrew insisted on a procession through Windsor, afraid that no one would be there to cheer them. But Windsor loves a procession and there was a good crowd.”

This comes as Royal expert Matt Wilkinson reveals: “I've got sympathy for both Beatrice and Eugenie, and I'd like to see them somehow rehabilitated and used properly in the Royal Family.”

“I think the King wants her, wants them both, to not pay for the sins of their parents, but I'm not sure there is mass public sympathy for them at the moment. They're probably going through a complete and utter personal crisis,” he noted.
